Endings - A Final Coconut Pineapple Power Ball

With the end of the cross-country season this weekend, the end of Power Balls is imminent. Per a special request for Power Balls for my alma mater, I had one last chance opportunity to support the Blue Jays (note: not blue devils) as both the women and men (for the first time!) head off to Wisconsin for their championship race. So good luck tomorrow Blue Jays! I hope these Power Balls help you finish well! I'll be cheering from you from afar!

*I used a new kind of protein powder since I ran out of my previous kind and either this one has significantly less protein than the other brand or I may have miscalculated all my previous protein amounts. I'm hoping for the former.

Run Fast Blue Devils! These Power Balls Are Waiting For You To Eat Them!

Despite attempts to remain relatively anonymous in my affiliations, that seems rather difficult given the title of this blog stemming from the name I've given these Power Balls: Blue Devil Power Balls. Tomorrow is the big ACC cross-country meet, so in honor of that I thought I'd show some team pride with Power Balls named after a certain school's mascot. There's blue from the dried blueberries and white from the white chocolate chips and coconut, so hopefully they'll replenish the Blue Devils that cross the finish line tomorrow!
