When you think of truffles, it's not often that you consider them to be a [healthy chocolate snack](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/proteinpacked-chocolates). However, these truffles from Sweet Virtues are in a category of their own, since the [chocolate balls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/galerie-dubai-style-truffles) are loaded with good-for-you ingredients like chia seeds, berries and other tasty fruits.

The charming vintage-inspired packaging for the truffles features a different color for each flavor. As well as just being tasty, each of the treats is tied to a specific purpose including: Detox, Balance or Energize. One of the cutest details on the packaging is a small bit of text that reads "OMG, they're good for me," where the abbreviated word also communicates the levels of Omegas, Magnesium and Ginseng that can be found in the truffles.
