These potent little lemony cancer-fighters are one of my favourite treats. They taste just divine and are naturally high in minerals, antioxidants, vitamin C, fibre, and heart-healthy fats, making them the perfect snack for any time of day! I especially love them as a post-workout treat. Pop one, or two, or three!
