Peanut Butter Oat Protein Balls

Published on by Style & the SuburbsLeave a comment

As you probably know, I’m big on having healthy snacks around at all times. Having snacks on hand throughout the day keeps me full in between meals, and it keeps me from being starving by the time I do get to eat a meal, which helps me be more mindful of what I make and eat.

One of my favorite go-to snacks are protein balls. They are a good homemade alternative to granola bars and can save you money too! I’ve experimented with a few different combinations, since I usually just use what is in my pantry, but this one has been my favorite combination so far!

Lola’s Half Marathon Race Recap

Published on by Style & the Suburbs1 Comment

A few weeks ago, I shared that I was running the Birdtown Half marathon—one of my favorite races. I had run 10 miles at my goal pace in March, and my training went really well, so I was optimistic about reaching my time goal for the race.

By race day, I felt okay. Not great, but I have run before while not feeling great and I really wanted to reach my goal.
