The Power of Prunes

Let’s talk about the star of the show—California Prunes. These little gems are not just for snacking; they’re a powerhouse of nutrition.

When combined with the prunes and a splash of maple syrup, it creates a decadent mousse-like texture that’s so satisfying, you’ll forget you’re eating something good for you.
