Mark Your (Online) Calendars: Coconut Matcha Balls

COOK A BOOK: COCONUT MATCHA BALLS
Friday, May 1st @ 11am on Facebook
Energy balls never fail to satisfy a sweet tooth. They give you a boost when you hit a mid-day slump. They're the perfect size for curbing kids' hunger pangs without spoiling their appetites. Energy balls are super portable and easy to tuck in a lunch box or pack along on a hike. As a bonus, many of them are vegan and sugar free, too!

Honestly, they're just fabulous in so many ways and we couldn't be more excited to make this recipe from "The Buddhist Chef: 100 Simple, Feel-Good Vegan Recipes" by Jean-Phillipe Cyr (available at the library)!
