The perfect snack.
Snacks are meant to increase energy and keep your body satiated until the next meal. When you have snacks that are full of sugar, carbs, but lack protein, you are bound to spike your blood sugar and have less energy than you did before your snack. When your blood sugar spikes up and down frequently, it will lead you to overeating while under-nourishing your body.
As a country, we are overfed and under-nourished. Snacking smart will help avoid consuming empty calories. These Chia Date Energy Balls are your new snack best friend!
