Spirited Essence Works

This year I started my diet as soon as the New Year hit. I have been doing pretty good on watching what I eat, portions, and a steady exercise regime. My meals have been pretty easy to stay on target but my snacking has been a mental struggle to not eat something unhealthy. I have been eating baby carrots and celery sticks, which is great! But can get old real fast. I used to make sausage balls for a quick snack before I started my diet but flour is quite high in carbs especially a full cup of it in a recipe. This got me thinking. Why don’t I try to make them with coconut flour and then I can have a high protein snack that is filling and low carb. And turns out it worked! Check out my recipe below to enjoy these scrumptious bites!
