Paleo Blueberry Pistachio Bars

These Paleo Blueberry Pistachio Bars are the perfect grab-and-go breakfast, quick snack or sweet treat! 

I had absolutely no intention of making these beautiful fluffy bars but I am so glad that I did! I was taking a self care day which meant the oven was on before the sun was up. After 35 minutes, my house was smelling like sugar, spice and everything nice and my self care day had started off on the right foot! Since then I’ve made them multiple times because they are THAT good!

As the name suggests, these bars are grain-free, refined sugar free and dairy-free! They are high in protein + healthy fats which make them the perfect bar to quiet your hunger cues and keep you satisfied for a long time.

It’s a well known fact that blueberries are full of antioxidants but did you know that pistachios are high in them too? In fact, pistachios have the third highest amount of antioxidants in the nuts and seeds family. In case you didn’t know, antioxidants play a crucial role in preventing cell damage which essentially mean these bars will keep you from getting sick.

It’s a proven fact. Just don’t quote me.

I hope you love these fluffy cake like bars as much as I do. If you make them, make sure to tag #ahealthyharmony on Instagram and let me know what you think!
