Sweet treats are often made with processed flour and sugar that are stripped of their nutrition, making them digest quickly — creating swings in blood sugar, a large release of insulin, and lots of calories without nutrients. But we understand, they taste good! Introducing Strawberry Shortcake Bars, a whole (raw!) plant-based dessert that is packed with nutrition AND flavor.

This recipe may look like lots of steps, but if you break up each component (tofu, sauce, and veggies) into individual sections, it will come together easy-peasy.

Once the tofu is done, your meal will be ready for simple assembling!
