Lemon Lara Balls + Reusable Favorites

I've done it! I recreated one of my favorite LaraBar flavors and I have to say they taste just like the real thing. I made them into balls for easy snacking. These are ideal for a breakfast, after a workout, or post dinner sweet treat. They can be easily adapted to fit your taste. 
​
Packed with:
+ good fats
+ fiber
+ potassium 
& FLAVOR!

Recipe makes about 15 balls, a serving size is two-ish (they are filling). Plus, you don't want to overdo it on the dates if you know what I mean!

Choconut Version.

I switched up the ingredients to make a chocolatey version. YUM!!
Instead of lemon zest & juice...
I added a dash of vanilla & a TBSP of nut butter (any works). Then drizzled with melted dark chocolate & sea salt.
​Definitely a delightful dessert!!

I wanted to share some of my go-to reusable products that I am constantly using. We try to do our best to purchase items that are high quality & that will help us use less disposable items in the future (paper plates, straws, bags, water bottles).  

I have purchased these items over the last five to ten years and built up a stock, this is not something that will happen over night. I try to buy one small item every couple of months that I consider an improvement in my everyday living. Something that will reduce the use of plastic or other waste, or that is simply better for our family to use. If you are looking to reduce waste try one of my favorites out!!

32oz HydroFlask (Straw top) $50 : Worth every penny. I have dropped it out of my car so many times. Doesn't make your water taste like metal & keeps it cold for so long!

Stasher Snack Bag $10 : We have these in every size but the snack bags are my favorite. They are the perfect size for on-the-go or any fridge item. 

Mesh Produce Bags (5) $12 : In non-COVID times you really need to stop using the store produce bags! So wasteful! I have used these for years without any dirty looks from grocery store cashiers....ha! They can be put in the washer and used again.

ZipTop Cup Set $35 : Add these to your list...when they run a sale you will be ready! They are some of the highest quality silicone bags I have found. I like how these stand up without spillage!

Ball 12 count Jelly Jar $8.39 : I bought these when I made baby food. They are so perfect for any sauces or small amounts of food. Love that they are glass! 

Silicone Straws (6pk) $6 : I prefer these straws over most and trust me I've tried them all!

OXO 8 pc Glass Tupperware $30 : Quality. Perfect snap closure! Would be a great gift for someone.

10pk Flour Sack Kitchen Towels $8 : I wash all of my produce and lay them to dry on these. They are absorbent enough but not fluffy (to leave lint on food). They can be bleached (if stained) and washed over and over.
