16 Aug Wild Blueberry Cashew Bars
If you didn’t know, a wild blueberry (NOT to be confused with the farm grown blueberries in the product section) is a POWERHOUSE food with 2X the antioxidants of a traditional blueberry! The concentration of the antioxidant named anthocyanin is much higher of a concentration than the traditional blueberry. They contain immense healing properties adding elevated prebiotics to heal your gut, cleanse your liver, and flush toxins. It is important to include detox foods in our diet and this is an easy way! My kids love them in their mid morning smoothies blended with banana, chia seeds, kale, and spinach. The wild blueberry has a nutrient rich profile is packed with vitamin C+K and antioxidants. Luckily (since we don’t all live in their growing climates) we can find them in the frozen section of our grocery store. *Costco sells a large organic bag for a great deal!
