CARROTS | VITAMIN A BOOSTER
Carrots are rich in beta-carotene, a precursor to vitamin A, which supports eye health, immune function, and skin vitality. They also provide dietary fiber and antioxidants to promote overall wellness.
MEDJOOL DATES | NATURAL SWEETENER
Dates are a natural sweetener loaded with essential nutrients like potassium, magnesium, and vitamin B6. They offer quick energy, support digestion, and provide a caramel-like flavor without refined sugar.
CHIA SEEDS | OMEGA-3 POWERHOUSE
Chia seeds are packed with omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and protein. They support heart health, promote satiety, and provide a gel-like texture when mixed with liquids, binding the energy bites together.
WALNUTS | BRAIN-BOOSTING FATS
Walnuts are an excellent source of omega-3 fats, antioxidants, and protein. They support brain health, reduce inflammation, and add a satisfying crunch to these bites.
CINNAMON | BLOOD SUGAR SUPPORT
Cinnamon is not just a warming spice—it helps regulate blood sugar levels, supports digestion, and provides powerful antioxidants to fight free radicals.
