You can’t go wrong with the delicious flavour of mango and coconut. These are a great if you are looking for that guilt free snack anytime of the day! Mangoes are are full of fibre which is great for your digestion and also contains vitamin C to boost the immune system. I have also used cashew nuts which contain unsaturated fat which can help lower cholesterol to improve heart health. For this recipe I have used dried mango so you can make these all year round.
