About the Recipe
Introducing my high protein Berry Crumble, a nutritious dessert that seamlessly blends flavor with health benefits. This crumble features a filling of antioxidant-rich berries, which are packed with vitamins C and K, alongside dietary fiber that aids in digestion. The crumble topping is made with a scoop of vanilla protein powder, supplying essential amino acids vital for muscle repair and growth. Combined with rolled oats, which offer complex carbohydrates and soluble fiber to support heart health, and almond flour, rich in vitamin E and healthy fats, this topping creates a satisfying texture. With the addition of high-protein yogurt—either dairy or dairy-free—this dessert delivers approximately 35 grams of protein per serving. This berry crumble is not only a delicious indulgence but also a scientifically formulated option for those seeking a nutrient-dense treat that aligns with their health-conscious lifestyle.
