BIG fan of energy balls in our house. I love them, my preferred variation is with lots of coconut, and cacao.I stopped making them though because they got too good. Can’t help but pop one in your mouth everytime you pass the fridge!

The apple chips look good! I bet my kids would eat those up. I don’t do resolutions at the new year either. Just keep going with my monthly goals.
