I just got back from a nice, long trip to the beach. It was so fun and also super relaxing. It’s nice to have all day to do whatever you want to do without the everyday stresses of work and family life.


I have been taking a hiatus from sugar for the past six weeks. To keep myself in check while I was away, I made a double batch of these amazing energy balls. Every time I have a craving for something sweet I would just pop one of these in my mouth and it would satisfy it completely. These didn’t just work for me, they worked for everyone who tried them during the trip!


These are Almond Joy Energy Bites by Minimalist Baker. They are chocolaty and coconuty and really just completely delicious. I did leave out the roasted almonds (didn’t have any on hand) and also the glaze and they were still amazing! If you’re looking for something to help you kick that sugar habit give these a try. Try them and let me know what you think!
