It's almost Memorial Day and in celebration of the start of BBQ season, we've teamed up with 5 of our favorite YouTube Channels to create "The Ultimate Memorial Day Menu" just for you. We were in charge of dessert (of course!), so we whipped up our all-time favorite Tone It Up Peanut Butter Balls. Enjoy and Have a Ball™!!

*** We're also releasing a special Burger video for Memorial Day THIS WEEKEND! Stay tuned :)

This is a fantastic recipe, especially for meal 4 on the Tone It Up Nutrition Plan

2) Mix in Apricots, Nuts and Oats

3) Stir until all ingredients are well coated

4) Cool in fridge for at least 45 minutes
