Breakfast Balls with Raspberry Dip

   This is such a GOOD recipe in many ways!  Yes, notice many.  Good tasting....oh yeah!  Good for you....of course!

    Let's talk about taste.  A beautiful ball of goodness.....chock full of delicious grains and elements of sweetness and cinnamon.  Ummmm....excuse me please, I think I am going to go eat a breakfast ball.  

   Yes, I did mention tasting good and being healthy.  These tasty balls have whole grains, flaxseeds and more.  Oh yeah, the honey and cherries add sweetness....not pure sugar.  

   Let's not forget this simple, delicious dip.  Cream cheese and raspberry preserves.  You get that cream cheese taste and then sweetness and raspberries.  Yum! This makes it.  

   I'll let you actually make these tasty bites, but first, let me tell you about the things you can do with these breakfast balls.  

1. Eat them just like they are.  Dip in raspberry dip.  

 2.  Use crumbs or crush balls to make granola/trail mix.

3. Use crumbs or crush balls.  Spread dip on toast. Sprinkle with crumbs. 

I bet you can come up with even more ideas!  These are just a few ideas....
