If you’re looking for a healthy and nourishing dessert, this is for you. Enjoy dessert guilt-free while boosting your immune system.
I’ve always had a sweet tooth. I’m a big sweets person, and it’s hard because most desserts are packed with harmful ingredients. A majority of the store-bought desserts are full of sugar, artificial flavors, colors, and preservatives.
Now, those are things that I’d like to avoid at all costs. After learning more about health and wellness, I began to eliminate foods that could harm my body. That’s how I became creative and came up with recipe ideas that capture the tastes I love, all while staying healthy.
Whenever I’m craving something sweet and easy to make, this recipe is what I run to. I love fresh-baked fruit pies, but let's be real, that takes some time to whip up. That’s why I literally cannot get enough of this mixed berry crisp.
This mixed berry crisp is made up of sweet, health-boosting berries and a granola crumble that is to die for. Top it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and you’ll be in heaven. Wholesome desserts like this are what help me stay on track. Remember, you can make some pretty incredible desserts that will support your health, not knock it down.
