These days it seems like when we aren’t pounding the pavement we are constantly running from one activity to the next, one job to another or from work to the gym. In order to fuel your body properly to perform your best, and to stay healthy, it is helpful for you to have your snacks prepared for you to grab and go. One snack that has made a huge difference for me is these Chocolate Protein Balls. They fill me up and are so easy to take with me and eat in the car! Lauren P. shared this recipe with a few us a long time ago and when I tried them out I wondered why I waited so long!  Try them out and let us know what you think!
