I make these for my roommates and I and always change up the ingredients. This recipe is very versatile which is nice. Even if these protein balls are small they actually are filling, and are satisfying. These protein balls are a good balance of protein and healthy carbs. Carbs are not a girls best friends only if they’re good carbs! Anyone can make these because they’re so easy and don’t have a lot of steps. I’ve read online many various ways to make these protein balls.

With it being so cold outside, this is a good recipe to remind you of summer! You can make this for breakfast, lunch or even a mid day snack.

What’s awesome about this recipe is you can make it your own, with your favorite fruits and toppings. Depending on what you’re craving

What I love about this recipe, is it is so quick and easy to make but is so refreshing and filling.

This Peanut Butter Acai Bowl is the perfect creamy, healthy, and peanut buttery breakfast! The recipe makes one thick smoothie bowl, best topped with fresh fruit, granola, and peanut butter.

This reminds me of sitting on the hot beach during the summer time. My favorite place that makes acai bowls is Secret Spot in Hampton, NH.

Be creative and make your own bowls!
