There is no truer statement than to say my kids are ALWAYS hungry. Always. I am not a big fan of a sugar loaded snack or drink, so having a healthier option ready to go has become a must, especially while we are quarantined.
I hope you and your loved ones are are staying well and healthy. This is such a weird world we live in right now with so much uncertainty and unprecedented events. Thank you for your patience while I have been developing a new normal in my home. Some of you a while back remember my husband’s scary bout with Guillain Barre Syndrome, during which his spleen spontaneously ruptured. It required an emergency splenectomy. Because of these two things combined, he falls into the immunocompromised, high-risk category. Things have been crazy around here as we have had to deal with our new normal of having a high-risk family member, homeschooling 3 different grades, and forming schedules. As hard as it has been, I have loved spending time with my cute family and rediscovering a passion for being in the kitchen.
Protein Balls are one of the must-have snacks in the fridge. My kids love them in all their varieties, including my anti-peanut butter child. It provides healthier ingredients while packing a bit extra protein in their diets. These are definitely a snack that I don’t have guilt about them eating when that anticipated “Mom, I’m hungry” plea occurs.

I’m a huge fan of fat bomb. I’ve made many fat bomb recipes, but this is the best one I’ve made. I also made these peanut butter balls for my boyfriend yesterday, and he said it tasted very well. Thanks for the recipe!

I love these protein balls! We made them without the ginger though, but they were such a great snack!
