I for one am big fan of simple, quick & nutritious grab and go snack recipes. If it can be made in under 15 minutes, uses minimal ingredients, and provides me with the extra boost of energy I need, I’m in!

This recipe is packed with good-for-you ingredients like chia seeds & hemp hearts, both of which are a fantastic source of heart healthy and anti-inflammatory fats. The saltiness from the pistachios acts as a flavor enhancer when combined with the sweetness from the cranberries, leaving you with a mouth-watering and delicious treat. 

Enjoy!
