Chocolate Almond Butter Bites

These chocolate almond butter bites make for an easy snack. They are full of protein and healthy fats with just a little hint of sweetness. The protein and healthy fats found in almond butter can help you to stay full longer and almond butter has also been shown to improve heart and skin health. Just a glance at the back of the jar reveals that almond butter contains fiber, protein, calcium, iron, and potassium. The shredded coconut included in these bites can also help you to stay full longer, because of its fiber content. Though I think the best ingredient in these bites are the pumpkin seeds. Pumpkin seeds include large amounts of magnesium, zinc, and iron, along with calcium, potassium, B vitamins, and protein. In fact, because of their high zinc content pumpkin seeds have been used as a treatment for prostate issues and can help to improve your immune function.

It’s amazing to me, that adding something as small as a pumpkin seed to your diet could help to improve your health. Small, simple switches like making your own snack that includes nutrient-rich, whole foods instead of eating a packaged cookie could make a large difference in the way your body functions and feels. I truly believe that God gave us whole foods that can nourish our bodies to help strengthen us for his glory. “Dear friend, I hope all is well with you and that you are as healthy in body as you are strong in spirit.” 3 John 1:2. I hope you will be encouraged to try and make a simple change for yourself and your family.
