These beauty bombs provide an instant hit of summer, whatever the weather. Packed with skin-saving nutrients, they’re an easy healthy snack to give you a radiant glow from the inside out. Flavoured with the natural sweetness of dried apricots and mango, this low-sugar treat is ideal when you’re in need of that something sweet.
Almonds are an excellent skin-boosting food. Just one handful of almonds can provide almost 50% of our recommended daily dose of vitamin E. This is perfect for keeping skin glowing and hair healthy.
What’s more, these beauty bombs require no cooking and very little effort. Make a batch to last you a couple of days – if you can resist!
