I’m back with more healthy eats, up next Protein Power Balls!  You are probably thinking one of two things at this point.  Either: “Oh no this blog is healthy now and I only came here for delicious treats!”  or “Sweet I love healthy options to help me keep my new years resolutions!!”  Well I have good and bad news for you both.  1) I won’t always be posting super healthy! I am trying to learn a little balance in my life and there are still lots of cookies and cocktails to be made.  2) I actually have started to thoroughly enjoy eating healthy and won’t be stopping the low cal posts either 🙂 …. just trying to make everyone happy!! If you are looking for a healthy alternative to a store bought energy bar, you have to try these Protein Power Balls! As well as document exactly how I am managing to lose some weight while not eating bland and boring.   Lately my day of eating has been a bunch of small meals.  On my way to work I will have a green smoothie I whip up with half a banana, lots of spinach, some almond milk and sometimes I throw in PB2 or protein powder.  Then at about 10 I have another small breakfast, either a bagel thin with egg whites or overnight oats.  I try to have a small lunch at 12 that is less than 250 calories, then 2 afternoon snacks and dinner!  When I plan it all out it is nice to know that I will be eating about every 2-3 hours.  These Protein Power Balls are a welcome addition to my routine!  They are a great afternoon snack before I go to the gym after work.  They are filling with good nutrients to give you that boost you need to finish a day strong.
