The Ultimate Superfood Bites are the perfect snack—nutrient-packed with sunbutter, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds and blueberries.

They’re bite-sized and ideal for road trips or beach days. My aunt thought they were meatballs (they’re not), but they’re definitely a must-have.

The Ultimate Superfood Bites prove the best part of any journey isn’t the destination—it’s the snacks.

½ cup sunflower seed butter
1 Tbsp. coconut flour

Store in the refrigerator.
