Dr Jockers Notes
These look and taste amazing and they are low in carbs and loaded with good fats and antioxidants. Coconut fats help you burn fat, strengthen your thyroid and gut lining and help to reduce inflammation in the body.
Blueberries are rich in anthocyanin antioxidants that protect the body from oxidative stress. The lemon essential oil helps give a great flavor and a synergistic combination of vitamin C and citrus bioflavonoids that help improve blood flow and oxygenation throughout the body.
You can use these bars as a quick breakfast, especially when you add in a high-quality protein powder. They are also really nice to throw into a smoothie, as they add a creamy and smooth flavor. They are also a great dessert or side snack that are full of healthy ingredients and taste amazing. Enjoy!
