Nature is just as beautiful in the winter as it is in the summer. Although life is alive in the summer, the winter has a spirit that of its own. Cranberries, a popular holiday and winter berry, is tangy and not as sweet as the beloved summer blueberries.

Fusing summer and winter berries creates a vibrant concoction of warm and cool hues. Like the birds picking berries off the trees, we can also enjoy these berries in a healthy and hearty breakfast bar or snack.

This winter berry delight is an ideal source of fiber and antioxidants. Many people forget how powerful spices are for physiological development. These holiday spices aide in the detoxification process of free radicals. Combined with low sugar, this oatmeal has a mild sweetness. Additional sugar may be added, or maple syrup may be a replacement, but I believe in retraining the palate as the American diet contains too much sugar.
