Chia Power Bliss Balls
With a gasp, we hiked through the thick evergreens onto an open cliff into a world wrapped with water and sky. And for a minute, we stood, gazing over the timeless Pacific as it churned. Then I wiped my brow, threw my heavy pack to the ground, and let my shoulders relax. I was tired. Aubrey was tired too, but smiling. And then she handed me an on-the-go nutrition bar. And as I tore into the plastic, the list of ingredients on the back of the wrapper caught my eye.
“We should make our own,” she said.
She read my mind.
