Hyvee Dietitian Expert Tip
Cherries are packed with antioxidants called anthocyanins which may help reduce the risk of heart disease and cancer. Studies have shown that eating foods high in anthocyanins can improve cholesterol levels, triglycerides and blood pressure, ultimately reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease and related complications.
Drain cherries and transfer to a food processor with remaining ingredients. Pulse until crumbly and shape into 6 bars with your hands. Wrap and place in refrigerator for at least 20 minutes to harden.
