Raspberry Bombs
Raspberries are awesome! They’re high in antioxidants such as Vitamin C, quercetin and gallic acid that fight against cancer, heart and circulatory disease and age-related decline. Plus their rich colour and their sweet but tart flavour make them perfect for desserts!
These delicious morsels are great for 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge members as they’re easy to make and a great snack for either at home or when you’re out and about.
