Hi all! Lexi here. I am so thrilled to be here today guest posting for Lauren while she rests up!

A little about me: I write the food blog Lexi’s Clean Kitchen, a healthy website sharing gluten-free, grain-free, and refined sugar-free recipes– without compromising any of the flavor! I changed my diet over 3 years ago after way too long of suffering with stomach issues, skin issues, and other ailments. I eat a clean diet full of real food, without any of the limitations, and I feel awesome!

Today I want to chat quickly about SNACKING!

While I personally try to eat meals that fill me up and give me fuel for the day to avoid snacking, sometimes you just need a bite of something delicious to get you through the day!

These bites are not only delicious, but they are packed with good-for-you ingredients to give you an energy boost! Plus, they are nut-free, so you can pack them in those school lunch boxes!

  1. Hmmm. NO cooking? Seems it is made into balls & simply refrigerated. Can you confirm this please. Sincerely, Beverly (wanting to share at the senior center’s Tuesday night music)!
