Summer's here!
I hope you have time to take to the airways, open sea, or winding road for a destination that allows you plenty of rest and relaxation 
--or adventure--depending on your preference. While you're traveling, take your healthy plant-powered eating habits along for the ride. For many people, traveling is a recipe for disaster when it comes to healthy eating, due to limited food choices. But you don't have to forsake your best intentions for healthy eating--just check out my 5 best tip s here.

dirt report: raspberries

Don't miss my plant selection of the month!

raspberries fresh from this year's harvest
in Bellingham

These bright little gems are one of my favorite summertime treats. Luscious, sweet, and fragrant, raspberries shine in just about everything, from cereal and desserts to salads and salsa. I had the special opportunity to check out the raspberry harvest in Bellingham, Washington last month, and learned all about how these nutrient super stars are cultivated, harvested, and processed in order to make their way to your own market. Packed with nutrients like vitamin C, fiber, and phytochemicals, I suggest powering up on berries, such as raspberries, every single day! Enjoy  
raspberries fresh in season, and frozen all year long. Try my award-winning recipe for Red Raspberry Crumble Bars
below for a healthy treat!
 
 
 
Red Raspberry Crumble Bars
1 cup whole wheat flour

1 cup old-fashioned oats

1 teaspoon baking powder

2 tablespoons hemp seeds (hulled)

1 teaspoon cinnamon

½ cup + 1 ½ tablespoons coconut palm or brown sugar

1/3 cup margarine

1 ½ tablespoons almond milk

2 cups frozen red raspberries

1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

  

  1. Preheat oven to 350 F.
  2. Line a 9 x 9 inch baking dish with foil and spray the foil with nonstick cooking spray.
  3. In a medium bowl, mix together flour, oats, baking powder, hemp seeds, cinnamon, and ½ cup of the sugar. Cut in margarine until crumbly. Stir in almond milk to make a crumbly dough.
  4. Pour about 2/3 of the crumbly dough into the bottom of the baking dish and pat down.
  5. In a small bowl, toss together raspberries, lemon juice and 1 ½ tablespoons sugar. Pour evenly over crumbly dough.
  6. Top with remaining crumbly dough, spreading out evenly over raspberries.
  7. Place uncovered in oven and bake for about 35-40 minutes, until golden brown.
  8. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly. Slice into 9 squares and serve immediately. Store leftovers in airtight container in the refrigerator.
