As the weather is starting to heat up, I've found myself craving cold snacks throughout the day. I started searching websites for the perfect treat that would be both satisfying and healthy. Finally, I came across the nutty banana nibblers. At only 160 calories, 4 grams of fiber, and 3.5 grams of protein per serving it was exactly what I was looking for. I modified the recipe slightly for my own taste but here is the original:

Raspberries have a lengthy list of reasons to be considered a powerhouse food. I will give you just one reason in this writing. Raspberries are a high-fiber powerhouse.
