Happy December Warriors!
From Halloween and Thanksgiving to Christmas through to New Year Eve… Most people have a house full of candy, cookies, cakes and pies.
These quick and healthy superfood bite recipes will fix your pumpkin or chocolate cravings… and since they are packed with superfoods like pepitas, chia seeds, collegen, chocolate, walnuts and raw honey, it boost your immune system and provide sustainable energy too 🙂
NO crash and burn that you’d get from a donut and coffee.
These superfood balls took me about 15 minutes to make and will be my go-to “fast food” breakfast, afternoon snack or evening dessert for the entire week (along with matcha latte or green tea in the morning or an herbal tea or golden milk in the evening).
