Our greatest tip for keeping healthy sweets on hand: utilize the freezer!
Frozen berries are the perfect sweet treat to keep on hand. Here are a few of our favorite frozen berry tips:
- Reduce frozen strawberries over the stove for a quick strawberry sauce to top your favorite chocolate ice cream.
- Toss a handful of mixed berries into a baking dish and top with a mixture of oats, brown sugar, and butter for a quick berry crisp.
- Sprinkle a handful of frozen blueberries and nuts on top of frozen yogurt for added texture and naturally sweet berry flavor.
- March 14th was National Pi Day, and we celebrated with a make-ahead berry pie. Perfect for all occasions, a homemade blueberry or strawberry pie can be prepped in your free time and popped into the freezer for when you’re ready to bake and serve.
