  1. How long do you think any of these could stay out of the fridge without spoiling? My family is going backpacking and these would be perfect hiking snacks but we will be out on the trail for five days. Trying to figure out ratio of homemade energy balls (more perishable) vs packaged snacks (longer trail life) to bring. Thanks.

  2. I had such a busy weekend it’s a miracle I got around to make one recipe, I chose the lemon coconut chia balls. Boyfriend would have wanted them sweeter, I would have wanted to add more lemon, so as a compromise, we left them as you instructed in the recipe 🙂 We took them to a party and the other guests really loved them as well 🙂
