Cherry Bites
Bianca from Wholefood Simply has kindly shared her delectable little Cherry Bites with us, as a healthy treat for the end of the meal. It's good to note that goji berries have quite a strong flavour, so if you haven't tried them before you may want to add them slowly to make sure that their flavour profile isn't too overpowering for you. If you are an avid goji berry lover - add them to your heart's content!
