Berry Crumble
Berry Crumble
SERVES 3-4
Berries are abundant in the summer months which is so wise because they are cooling, anti-inflammatory and supportive for the liver. [1] Other notable benefits of berries - they can improve blood sugar and insulin response, high in vitamin C, manganese, vitamin k1, copper, folate, lower cholesterol and support skin health. [2]
I love this recipe as a summer sweet treat. Ease to prepare and bring to parties or have as a special treat at home. You can also substitute the berries for other fruits - cook time might vary though.
