Cherries are one of my favorite fruits ever. Since I was a kid, anything cherry flavored was always my first pick. I love everything about them, the flavor, the form of the fruit, and all the stories behind them. I remember the first time I saw a cherry tree blossom; I was speechless… so much beauty left me paralyzed. Have you seen one?

What are the health benefits of chia seeds?

I’m pretty sure that by now you’ve heard all the benefits. They are full of antioxidants and have tons of omega-3s fatty acids. These little gems are also full of protein and vitamins. They are the real deal when it comes to fiber and other fantastic health benefits. They are a true superfood!

What are the benefits of cherries?

Cherries, like chia seeds, are packed with nutrients; they are high in fiber, vitamins, and minerals. They are an excellent source of Vitamin C, B, and vitamin K.

Cherries are also rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds. So research shows that they may help us with exercise recovery. They are also rich in potassium, they can help us improve our sleep quality, and probably the best part is that they are super easy to include in our diet. I love to have a big bowl of cherries in the fridge for my kids to snack.
