I have been using my time and energy these last few weeks to enjoy my grandson who is on winter break. I haven’t written because I took time to enjoy being with him but I found that in doing this I was feeling a bit run down.
Todays recipe is because of this feeling, I remembered seeing energy recipe balls on a Young Living website and thought I should try them. In no time at all I found these easy to make and gave me the boost that I needed.
Please enjoy and try one or all three of the recipes, winter can bring sluggish feelings to us all but I have found these helpful and tasty.
