When life gives you lemons, DO NOT MAKE LEMONADE… make these Healthy Lemon Bars instead! Because these adorable little treats are exactly how you turn a bad day into a good day.
People correspond the word “dessert” with excess butter, sugar and non-nutritious calories that add to the day’s total. But not these! These Lemon Bars are pretty much the epitome of a healthy dessert — they’re sugar free, high in fiber and protein, gluten free, and taste delicious. Absolutely no butter or refined sugar, but instead, whole grains, complete protein, and natural flavors. The crust is soft and buttery, the filling is rich and tart, and together they pair to make a sweet dessert perfect at any time of day!
