Wild blueberry energy bars

Several studies have shown a link between eating both wild and cultivated blueberries and cancer prevention. These energy bars are made with wild blueberries, which have a more intense blueberry flavor and are frozen at harvest, which helps lock in their nutrients. You can find wild blueberries all year-round in the freezer section in many grocery stores.
