I have recently become a little bit of a protein bar addict. I have absolutely no idea where this craving came from, but I just find them so convenient to snack on! I have decided to take on a mission to make my own protein bars. I love making my Chocolate Coconut Bliss Balls and homemade […]

Being raised as a part-time hippie and forest adventurer, I have always had a love for escaping the city for a few days to hike in the mountains or camp along a lake.
