Hi Friends!
If you’ve been reading for a while now, you might remember last summer I partnered with The Wild Blueberry Association to share several delicious Wild Blueberry recipes! In case you missed them, check out the links below:

The summer we’re teaming up again for a fun series specifically geared towards helping moms stay fit and healthy!
As a mom, finding time to fit a workout in during the day can be extremely challenging. If you’re finding yourself skipping workouts due to a busy schedule, learning how to sneak in an early morning workout before your family starts the day may be just what you need!
It doesn’t need to be long or complicated. Even waking up 25 minutes early for a quick workout can help get your day off to a great start! Take advantage of having your spouse or significant other home in case the kids need anything and head downstairs to work up a sweat.
When you’re done, it’s important to refuel. Since mornings can get a little, your best bet may be a homemade energy bar that you can prep ahead of time and eat quickly.
I developed some Wild Blueberry Energy Bars for a quick, grab and go breakfast option!
They’re packed with nutritious ingredients like Wild Blueberries, almonds and pumpkin seeds.
A few fun facts about Wild Blueberries compared to regular blueberries:
- They have a more intense blueberry flavor because they come from fields that contain hundreds of thousands of different blueberry plants. The mixture of berries from all the plants combined gives Wild Blueberries their unique flavor!
- They have twice the amount of andioxidants and more protective phytochemicals.
- They’re frozen at harvest, which locks in their nutrients.
- They’re available year round in the freezer section of many grocery stores and offer a convenient way to get your “Daily Dose of Wild Blue.”

This is my kind of recipe. I’m a huge Wild Blueberry fan and always have a bag at the ready in my freezer. MUST try these soon 🙂
Yum! Ethan would love these. He loves my raw date/nut balls, and blueberries are his favorite food.
I have been CRAVING a blueberry bar… and I had no clue you could make them with frozen blueberries! This is so awesome and love that you skip all the sugar from dried blueberries!!
I love blueberries so anything with them in it sounds delicious to me!
Wild blueberries are a staple in my freezer year round. Nice to have another use for them. I’m always looking to mix up my post workout pick me up!
Yum! I love blueberries!
I checked out the recipe and it looks delicious!
I’m going on a backpacking trip this weekend – these would be perfect!
I have most of these ingredients on hand right now so I think I’ll whip up a batch…they look delicious!

Hi Lindsay! LOVE that pic of you working out with your little man strapped to you. And you know, I always buy frozen wild blueberries rather than fresh, it’s so cool to learn that they have a few more benefits. Thanks for sharing this recipe! 🙂
I only like blueberries if they are baked in something. I cannot eat them on their own, so this recipe makes me so happy! I am going to have to give this a shot sometime. 🙂 Thank you for the recipe Lindsay!
you know me.
IM IN IN IN FOR THE RISE AND SHINE BODY WEIGHT ANYTHING!!! And yer bars.
These sound SO good! I’ve been on a blueberry kick lately, and these bars would be great for packing when I’m out and about with the girls!
These sound fabulous! I am going to try to make a batch to take with me on my upcoming mission trip where I’m going to need healthy, handy food to offset all the not-so-healthy stuff they will feed us!
I’ve been loving blueberries lately so this snack is right up my alley!
Well, that pic makes me feel like a wuss. I do the dynamix ball with squats but dang… not with a wee little one on my back! 😉
These bars sound mighty tasty!
