Protein bliss balls

We are coming up to the time of the year where we start to forget about healthy eating, overindulging in food and alcohol. There is also the stress of finding presents for friends and family. Battling through the crowds of people in the mall, getting those Christmas specials. We are often tired from the year of hard work and find ourselves eating more chocolate and other sugary foods. As a result, we are not kept full and start reaching for more sugar to keep us going. It really is a vicious circle.

Creating some fun, easy, YUMMY and nutritious foods and treats isn’t difficult, it’s about having the right recipes. Well my friends, look no further, I have put together the easiest treat that you can have for snacks, add to platters to share with friends or sweet treats for the kids.
