These have been my go–to snack in the morning waking up before Pilates or Boxing. I try to eat within 30 minutes of waking to keep my hormones leveled and my sugar stable. I have noticed a huge difference with this routine of eating within 30 minutes of waking with my mood and how I eat for the rest of the day as well as my digestion. These “Fat Balls” are filled with good fats, no sugar, tons of super foods and protein. Try these any time of the day for quick fuel, and if your have been fighting adrenal fatigue and want to find something easy to eat in the morning on the run try these!
