One of my favorite snacks of all time include some concoction of nuts with dried fruit. I literally eat them daily, whether they are in the form of a lara bar, nut butter, or trail mix, they are my go-to snack of choice. Nuts are filling, satisfying, nutritious, help curb cravings, and are full of amazing and healthful properties, such as, monounsaturated fat (healthy fat), protein, fiber and antioxidants. Dried fruit also has its benefits. Although each fruit is unique, most are full of blood pumping iron and vital minerals and vitamins.
Some of my favorites
Goji Berries grow on an evergreen shrub from China and have been used for centuries for their various health benefits…
- protect the liver
