Healthy Snacks: Kid Friendly Energy Balls

I’m always looking for a quick and simple hands on recipe.  Like I said involvement is key here.  Any recipe you can include your children in decision making is a good one.  I’m going to include a chart with some ideas of items to add.  You need at least one from each column.  Get creative, let your kids call the shots, and enjoy!
