This fun and tasty savory-sweet snack includes almond butter, leafy greens, and chewy goji berries. If you loved ants on a log, you will love ladybugs on a leaf.

Goji berries are such a fun and delicious ingredient to keep in your pantry. They can easily be used in place of raisins or any dried fruit. You can serve them straight from the bag, all chewy and super sweet, or soak them to plump them up and soften their texture and mellow the flavor a bit. I love adding goji berries to muffins and my morning lemon tea as well.
