Who here suffers from the midafternoon blahs? I do, I do! You will most assuredly find me drinking a cup of coffee every afternoon, but it’s just not enough. I need a snack that gets me going. A snack that won’t weigh me down and make me crash. Energy Bites to the rescue! These bite-sized balls are packed with hearty oats, sweetness, and healthy stuff, too. Just what I was looking for!
