Frozen berries are a staple in my house. They are so versatile: I add them to yogurt, porridge, smoothies and also use them in baking. I used Sujon blueberries for this recipe. Their blueberries come from British Columbia in Canada and are large, juicy and sweet.

Blueberries get their beautiful dark blue color from a group of compounds called anthocyanins. These plant compounds are also antioxidants and are believed to protect the body from damage caused by free radicals. Blueberries also provide fiber and vitamin C.

These bars are delicious served on their own. They’re also delicious warmed with yogurt or ice cream and served with extra berries for a special dessert.
