I love summer, and it’s almost here. That being said, I am feeling the summer “pressure” to get into bikini body shape. I have also been feeling really bloated lately which makes me look “fat”. Which is also even more motivating for me to improve me diet. I am in a constant struggle with myself. On the one hand I love being able to eat whatever I want, like cheese and bread, but I always pay for it in stomach pain and extra weight. On the other hand, I really do love eating health and feeling my best. So starting now I am going to get back to eating foods that make me feel good without giving me stomach issues. Starting with this healthy gluten free dessert. 😉 I am all about balance! I never want to feel deprived or like Im on a stingy diet.

The almond meal will be a little gritty and that s ok for this apple crisp recipe. If you prefer a finer consistency, you can sift the homemade almond meal a few times to rid any larger pieces of almond. I don t find that necessary here.
