Healthy Cornfllake Balls

Cereal can be super healthy, especially the cereals without an over abundance of sugar.  Cornflakes is a great example of this.  A one cup serving provides 10% of your reccommended daily intake of vitamin A,C and D.  Also 25% of your recommended daily intake of several B vitamins, including thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B6, folic acid and vitamin B12.  Cornflakes also provide 25mg of potassium per serving.  These cornflake balls not only get nutriton from the cornflakes, they also get protein and fiber from the peanut butter, and  almonds offer high levels of vitamin E, which is great for skin and hair and more importantly it acts as a powerful antioxident, warding off bad cells.
