When a dessert is touted as healthy, it sounds suspicious. Dessertbris usually a calorie-packed indulgence of sugar, butter and lots ofbrother bad-for-you ingredients. But not Bliss Bites. These gloriousbrlittle gems, defined as “artisan gourmet superfood desserts,” arebrperfectly good for you. And they're perfectly tasty, too.br
They look like mini frosted cupcakes, but unlike mostbrprepackaged desserts, Bliss Bites are free of preservatives,bradditives, and artificial colors and flavors. They're also gluten-brfree, dairy-free and vegan, containing no grains or animalbrproducts. They're the real deal: a nutritious dessert you can feelbrgood about enjoying.br
We got to sample all six mouthwatering flavors: CaramelbrPecan Turtle, Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup, Dark ChocolatebrCoconut, German Chocolate Haystack, Mint Chocolate andbrOrange Lavender. We gravitated toward the Caramel PecanbrTurtle, which is chewy and rich like a brownie, and studded withbrsmall flecks of pecan. Two new seasonal flavors, Pecan Pie andbrPumpkin, will be released this fall.br
Bliss Bites are sized just right to pop in your mouth, butbrthey're best savored in small nibbles with a glass of wine or a cupbrof coffee. They're dense, flavorful and filling. All you need is onebrto satisfy your sweet tooth.br
But, if you want to indulge in more than one, you won't ruinbryour diet. These tiny treats are made with all natural, whole-foodbringredients such as coconut oil, hemp hearts, goji berries, and rawbrorganic cacao, which is the only known source of anandamide,bra.k.a. the bliss chemical. When you eat it, you naturally feel happy.br
These ingredients, when put together to create Bliss Bites, notbronly taste great, but they do great things for your body. Simplybrby enjoying dessert you can improve your immune system,brbalance your blood sugar and even enhance your libido. It wasbrlove at first bite for us, and the fact that these treats are chockfullbrof so many health benefits is like icing on the cake. Or goji berriesbrin the Bite.br
Sherry Lee White is the woman behind Bliss Bites. She's thebrfounder of Fork That Foods, which produces the treats. Just abrfew years ago, White was clinically depressed and facing lifebrin a wheelchair. She didn't want to go down that path, so shebrrevamped her life. She changed what she ate and her healthbrimproved. White started teaching at hospitals and health fairs,brsharing the news that “healthy can be yummy,” as she puts it.br
And so Bliss Bites were born. You can purchase them online,brat Fork That Foods' kitchen (it's located in the 280 SportsbrComplex in Southlake), and at several spots around town: Nekterbrand RE:defined Coffee House in Grapevine, as well as variousbryoga studios and gyms.br
Depending on whom you're sharing with, you can get BlissbrBites in a variety of sizes: individually or in two-packs, four-brpacks and 12-packs. When refrigerated, they're shelf stable for eight months – if they lastbrthat long. When you come across a dessert that's enjoyable andbrnourishing, you're smart to seize that sweet.
