Ultimate Finds...

To break the label of "restaurant reviewer" I will often share unique healthy, but scrumptious, foods- whether it’s in a store or just one item from a place that “wow”ed me.

I’ll start with these Raw Cacao Goji Bites. The branded version is made by Navitas Naturals http://navitasnaturals.com/product/442/Snack-Cacao-Goji.html and sold at most health food stores such as Sprouts. However, the small package is $9 which if you portion it appropriately is okay; and honestly these are one of the few treats that I can adhere to the serving size and be satisfied, especially as a hungry athlete! Take cereal or granola for example. One serving is usually 1/4c for granola up to ¾ cup for cereal. It’s a joke. My bowl ends up being half the dang box! Not exactly figure friendly.

But these bites show you the power of real “superfoods” A bite (square) or two will absolutely be plenty to fix that sweet tooth, without a surge of sugar from a typical dessert. Plus it’s such a small quantity that it’s perfect after a meal…and even better with a glass of wine ;).

The best part, is you can find these at some Whole Foods locations in bulk!! I haven’t found them in San Diego, though I’ve yet to check out the new store in Del Mar. But they have them in San Antonio (where I first discovered them), so I recently brought back a bag full.

If you’re like me and need to have chocolate at least once a day and also don’t like overly sweet foods, you have to try these!! Yes, they are gluten free, too!
