Last night Jeremy and I watched the documentary 'Food Inc' and after seeing what goes into some of our food, I was like 'Chiiiiiild, I need to eat something gooood'.
Seriously - you need to watch it! It reminded me how important it is to take the time to know whats going into our food, where it comes from and how its made. After all, food is what fuels our bodies!
I decided to make some protein balls to you know, make me feel a little less guilty (as I was wanting to reach for a chocolate bar).These are perfect for when that sweet tooth needs a fix and when you feel like you need a little boost.I love using Thriving Protein as its not only raw but its an organic whole food protein thats corn free, has no GMOs, is dairy free, vegan, includes bio-fermented living ingredients aaaand what I love most - its kid friendly.
