Coconut and Cranberry Bites

All I know is I love coconut no matter what others say! You probably know what American Heart Association report had advised about the use of coconut. Coconut contains saturated fat but it also contains 65% of medium chain triglycerides (MCT). It’s the kind of fat that rapidly absorbs into our bloodstream to burn as fuel for our body. Read here MCT for more information.

I like the nutty taste of coconut, combine with sweet dried cranberries and almonds. These ingredients will fuel you to attain the energy you need for the day. Whether you’re looking for a quick breakfast or a post workout munchies…these energy bites are your healthy choice to tame your mid-morning cravings.
