The best snacks are not only delicious but also made with nutritious ingredients. And these yummy energy bites have the best of both worlds. Sun-colored goldenberries contain tannins, polyphenols, and carotenoids, thanks to which they can reduce inflammation and lower blood sugar levels. Despite its natural sweetness, mango is relatively low in sugar, which also marks it a great option for people with diabetes. Additionally, it is rich in vitamins A and B-complex, essential for skin and eye health. Dates' richness in dietary fiber, on the other hand, can improve digestion and relieve constipation. Cashews and coconut share their fat content, making these balls rich and tasty energy-boosters.
