As we find ourselves winding down from the indulgent foods and activities of the holidays, we may be contemplating our health goals for the year to come. This might involve taking a look at our eating habits and food choices.

While we may still desire sweets (our bodies naturally crave sweet foods during these winter or Kapha months), we may also want to choose foods that are healthy and aligned with our personal goals for 2023. With all that in mind, I would like to offer you a quick, yummy, and nutritious snack to help satisfy those moments when some sweetness is required.
