This recipe started in a really funny way. I was often making lactation cookies after Rocky was born and Matt kept eating them. I told him to stop eating my cookies! I decided to look up the benefits of some of the key ingredients and IF they were healthy for EVERYONE (not just lactating mothers) then I would let him continue to eat them. I was actually blown away at the benefits of one particular ingredient, Brewers Yeast. Brewers Yeast is amazing for improving energy levels, balancing blood sugar, aiding in digestion and overall vitality. I continued making this recipe for months and eventually started adding on more healthy ingredients to make them what they are now, “Power Balls.” I love making these because they are not only DELICIOUS but so healthy for Rocky to eat. He is obsessed with these and asks for them OFTEN!
