Healthy Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp

Strawberries and rhubarb. It’s a classic combination of sweet and sour with just the right amount of tang. I love this combination, especially around the end of August when local strawberries are in abundance and fresh rhubarb is growing.

This healthy strawberry rhubarb crisp is (of course) a healthier version of a classic crisp. It’s made with whole grains, is refined-sugar free, and even has the addition of chia seeds in the filling! You can also modify the filling with any fresh local fruits you have on hand. (Toss in some blackberries, or blueberries!)

A healthy strawberry rhubarb crisp makes the perfect summer dessert that is easy, healthy, and delicious! Serve it up on it’s own, with ice cream, or a dollop of your favourite yogurt.
