It's that time of the year again! Strawberries and rhubarb are ripe for the picking! I personally love Strawberry Rhubarb Crunch, but of course I had to figure out how to make it healthier. There are tons of recipes out there that are full of sugar and carbs but I personally wanted a recipe that offered some protein and healthy fats and still tasted like a delicious treat. <3 I replaced regular flour, that has very little nutritional value, with almond flour and chopped pecans. I also added vanilla protein shake for added sweetness, flavoring and protein. In stead of using regular highly processed white sugar that is loaded with empty calories, I replaced it with honey, Truvia and a little palm sugar. If you've read my past blogs, you know that honey, palm sugar and Truvia are lower on the Glycemic Index (GI). Agave is another great option as a sweetener. I hope you enjoy this recipe! Here is the printable link to my healthier Strawberry Rhubarb Crunch Recipe. Let me know what you think!
Reading the strawberry rhubarb crunch post really made me think about how baking feels like a calm and creative way to slow down after a busy day. It reminded me of when I tried making a simple dessert with my cousin, and we kept laughing at our mistakes but still enjoyed it. I used health care assignment service UK during a tough study week, and it helped me understand health topics in a more structured way. It shows that both cooking and studying feel easier when you stay patient and follow simple steps.
