Protein Packed Nut Butter Treats

Admittedly, I don’t even consider getting into the car to shuttle my kiddos to school without a cup of coffee…BUT some mornings there just isn’t enough time to sit at the table for a proper breakfast.

That being said, the idea of a muffin just doesn’t cut the mustard to start my engine for the day.  That’s why I keep Peanut Butter Balls in my refrigerator ready for a grab and go breakfast or snack.

These are sure not to disappoint.
