“These are an incredible breakfast item. They have twice the amount of vitamin C you need daily and can easily be filled with your favorite yogurt or smoothie, topped with all sorts of fresh fruits, and sprinkled with healing superfoods like bee pollen (great for boosting the immune system) and chia seeds (an incredible protein and healthy fat source that speeds up metabolism),” Nikki shares.
