Cranberry Almond Bars

 

Eating healthy is one of the most commonly made resolutions every year, but it always seems to be one of the most difficult ones to keep. It’s hard to make an immediate switch from rich holiday goodies to a lettuce-only diet, though, which is understandable why so many resolutions get broken pretty quickly.

But maintaining a balanced, nutritious diet doesn’t have to be so hard, and certainly doesn’t have to revolve around raw veggies or bland chicken breasts. There are plenty of recipes that are good for you that still taste great, and this recipe for Cranberry Almond Bars is a perfect example.

These bars are made with whole wheat flour for higher fiber and lots of nutrients, and egg substitute for lower fat and calorie contents, making them a healthier, no-guilt option for breakfast, a snack or dessert. They’re also a great way to use up those leftover cranberries from Christmastime! Try them out and feel good about your eating all year long!
