Cherry Berry Bliss Bites

These little superfood bites are a go-to for a quick snack or a late-night treat! Dates, cherries, chia seeds, coconut, oats flax, and kombucha oh my! When I think about creating a treat that really packs in nutrients the last thing that I want it to be is bland, dry and underwhelming but these are quite the opposite! Each bite is sweet, crunchy and packed with superfood ingredients.

My go-to little snacks are those that I can just pop in my mouth and know they are packed with nutritious ingredients. These bliss bites keep me full, satisfied and the ingredients are packed with nutrition that continues to work after consumption. 

Let’s break down those power ingredients! Each ingredient was chosen with a purpose for health benefits and flavor combinations. Dates are full of fiber that aids in digestion and healthy blood pressure levels. They are also a great source of quick energy. When you first take a peek at their nutrition facts, you might think, “wow, these are high in sugar and carbs,” but these are healthy sugars and carbs that help sustain blood sugar levels in working out or snacking. Cherries aren’t in season for a lot of states in the US right now, but dried tart cherries are a fantastic substitute in these little bites, trail mixes, and even salads. Cherries are incredible powerhouses with their high amounts of antioxidants, sleep aid ability and their delicious sweet flavor. Chia seeds are a go-to ingredient for almost all my baking needs. They are very high in fiber, high level of protein (for such a wee little seed), and high in omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids are words that are thrown around in health journals a lot, but what really are they? Omega-3’s are crucial fats that are found in fish, seeds, and nuts. They help fight depression, body aches and overall help with regulating body function. Flake coconut and oatmeal are great sources of rich carbohydrates that provide the body with energy.
