6. Ice Cream
If you want to provide a non-dairy frozen treat, this coconut ice
cream recipe using Superberries frozen Aronia berries is perfect. The added
sweetness comes from dates, which are often called “nature’s candy.” They
provide significant amounts of fiber, potassium, magnesium, and folate, to make
your treat even healthier. You don’t even need an ice cream maker to whip this
up.
7. Berry Desserts
This berry upside-down cake is a perfect quick treat when you need to bring something a

decadent dessert.

snacks you are serving to your loved ones. Each of these recipes is easy
enough to make with your kids and they will love helping. Superberries Aronia
