What better way to celebrate Earth Day than with a healthy dessert that doesn't require you to turn on your oven?  These Cookie Dough Balls taste delicious but are made with nutritious ingredients that make them perfect for snacking. Note:These can be stored in the fridge or the freezer, I like them both ways but they will last longer in the freezer.
