Get ready to have a "berry" good time with these Berry Crumble Bars! Here’s what makes them  healthy, delicious, and satisfying:

  • The base is made of rolled oats and almond flour. Oats have fibre, including beta-glucans which, research shows, can help lower cholesterol and manage blood sugar levels. In addition, almond flour is a great non-traditional, gluten-free option and packs a punch of protein. Each bar provides 8.5 grams of protein!
  • Of course, the berries: Loaded with antioxidants that support optimal health while being a potent source of vitamin C, these berries are the perfect blood sugar regulating and immune boosting fruit.

Enjoy these bars with your morning coffee, or as a dessert!
