Chocolate-covered fruit makes a satisfying snack that balances health and indulgence. Natierra is one company that realized this and began producing bite-sized balls of freeze-dried fruit. As a frozen treat, the organic and Fair Trade snack is able to retain peak freshness and all of its nutritional benefits. In addition to introducing strawberry and banana options, Natierra also introduced a far less common chocolate-covered mango variety.
The chocolate coating on the snack is made from a rich vegan-friendly dark chocolate and free of any savory ingredients that are typically used to give chocolate-covered snacks an additional glossy sheen.
These fruit snacks from Natierra definitely fall under the category of permissible indulgence. These bite-sized chocolate balls also make a great grab-and-go snack for those with a sweet tooth.
