Choc Orange Crunch Protein Balls
These are my favourite when needing a quick pick me up in the afternoon without significantly spiking your blood sugar levels. This is important as we are looking for that slow constant sugar burn throughout the day.
These will help keep you full for the afternoon avoiding that afternoon slump.
