Raspberry Crumble Bars

I hope you guys had an AWESOME New Year’s Eve! 🤗 We sure did! 🥂 Complete with a fully 💯 vegan, gluten-free, and sugar-free dessert spread to ring in the new year last night 🎉 and everything was DELISH! 😍 The best part of all? You can enjoy these tasty treats and not feel TERRIBLE afterward. 👏🏼 Dairy, sugar, and gluten always give me a stomach ache, make me feel super sluggish and overly full, and then I end up with digestive issues and blemishes on my skin. 😫 NOT ANYMORE! 😃 These Raspberry Crumble Bars are just ONE of the tasty recipes I’ll be sharing, and they’re definitely my FAV from last night’s spread! ❤️ Check out the details below! ⬇️
