Benefits

  • We tout acerola cherries for being high in vitamin C, but blackberries have roughly 30mg of vitamin C per cup.[1]

    For reference, that's half your daily recommended value. Vitamin C plays an important role in immune function, iron absorption, and collagen production.

  • We're all about those plant-based sources of omega-3s so it's no surprise chia seed pudding makes its way into many of our recipes.

    Chia seeds are one of the richest plant-based sources of omega-3 fatty acid alpha-linolenic (ALA), meeting your daily needs with just two teaspoons of seeds.[2]
