Healthy Ingredient Tips

 

A healthy lifestyle requires balance, and that means including some indulgent foods in your diet as well. However, that doesn’t mean that you have to forgo taste or nutrition when you’re looking for a quick snack or dessert. These blueberry crumble bars are the perfect example of a healthy treat that’s both delicious and satisfying.

 

To start, we use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour. It adds extra fiber and nutrients to the bars. We also use oatmeal in the crumble topping, which adds even more fiber as well as a healthy dose of vitamins and minerals. To sweeten the bars, we use honey instead of sugar. Honey has antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties, making it a healthier choice than refined white sugar. Finally, we use fresh blueberries in the filling. Blueberries are packed with antioxidants and have been shown to improve brain health.

 

So, next time you’re looking for a healthy snack or dessert, give these blueberry crumble bars a try! You’ll be getting all the flavor without sacrificing any of the nutrition.
