We’re heading to the RODEO! As a Calgarian by blood, I am CRAZY about rodeo season! My rodeo experiences look a little different these days. No more two stepping with cute cowboys till midnight. No more drinking spicy ceasars and riding mechanical bulls. Β BUT, I wouldn’t change it for the world!

I am all about “cheat days” when it comes to your diet BUT eating everything deep fried on a stick, well just isn’t for me πŸ˜‰ Go ahead and treat yourself on the weekends but if you are out with the kiddies all day, make sure and pack some healthy eats on the go!

Β And bonus, your kids will LOVE them too! Healthy and nutritous snacks that taste like a slice of apple pie? Doesn’t get much better than that!

Blitz Truffle ingredients ALL TOGETHER at once in food processor for approx 2-3 minutes or until mixture comes together and starts to form a ball around blade.

After mixture has come together, add an additional 40g of raisins to mix and pulse for 30 seconds.
