Superfood Bites
These Superfood Bites are one of my all time favorite recipes. I always have them in my fridge! They are by far the easiest and healthiest snack and are the perfect go-to when you need a little energy pick me up. These bites are filled with some of the most amazing super foods in the world including flax seed, chia seed, almonds, walnuts, spirulina, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, raisins, dates, coconut, and goji berries.
Goji berries have been used in traditional Chinese medicine for years and are a wonderful source of antioxidants. They are full of fiber, vitamin C, are low in calories, fat-free, and have been known to help boost the immune system.
These little bites of energy are an extremely nutrient dense snack. They are also a great dessert and will satisfy all of those sweet cravings, without throwing you out of your healthy eating routine.

3. Once all ingredients are combined, add the water and blend once more until everything is nice and sticky.
4. With a spoon, scoop and roll the mix into small balls and set in the freezer for up to an hour to set.

I hope you all love these Superfood Bites as much as I do, and that they become your new favorite healthy snack!
