♥ What do we know about pineapple?

Pineapple is a healthy and delicious tropical fruit. The low-calorie high fiber fruit has an abundance of vitamin C. For a serving of 6 ounces of fresh pineapple you will get about 140% of the RDI. This delicious tropical fruit is also rich in healthy antioxidants and bromelain.

Bromelain is a group of enzymes that break down proteins which may help with digestion. Also, pineapples have anti-inflammatory properties that may boost the immune system. In conclusion, pineapple has impressive health benefits, and it tastes delicious!

These gluten-free oatmeal squares are made with fresh pineapple, coconut, oats, pecans and ginger making them fiber powerhouses. They are dairy-free and are not shy of protein and vitamin C. Pineapple and ginger are a classic pairing, add some coconut to the mix and the flavours become warm and tropical.

 

 

Starting with a nutrient-packed breakfast will keep you energized for hours, but if you are not a breakfast eater, have the oatmeal squares for lunch or a snack on the go later in the day.

To change up the recipe, use any combination of nuts or seeds. These tropical flavoured gluten-free oatmeal squares are easy to assemble and will keep up to three days when refrigerated.
