Leaky Gut Blueberry Bites

Summer is the perfect time to enjoy fresh, vibrant flavors, and these Leaky Gut Blueberry Bites are no exception. Whether you’re looking for a nourishing breakfast on-the-go, a satisfying snack between meals, or a light dessert to enjoy after dinner, these bites fit seamlessly into your daily routine. They’re AIP-friendly, gluten free, dairy free, and refined sugar-free, making them a wonderful option for those following The Myers Way® or anyone supporting optimal gut health.

Blueberries come into season during the warmer months, offering a burst of natural sweetness and powerful antioxidants. While this recipe uses dried blueberries to keep the texture chewy and portable, you can always enjoy fresh blueberries on the side for an extra boost of nutrients. These bites also feature the gentle tang of lemon zest and the rich vanilla aroma that makes each bite feel like a treat.

Tigernut Flour: A Gluten-Free Alternative

One of the star ingredients in these blueberry bites is tigernut flour. Despite the name, tigernuts aren’t actually nuts at all! They’re small root vegetables, making them completely nut-free and ideal for those with tree nut sensitivities. Tigernut flour is rich in resistant starch, a type of prebiotic fiber that nourishes the beneficial bacteria in your gut, helping to support healthy digestion and immune function.

Tigernuts are also high in iron, potassium, and magnesium, offering a mineral-rich boost to your day. They have a naturally sweet, nutty flavor that works beautifully in snacks, desserts, and even breakfast recipes without the need for added sugars.

The Benefits of Blueberries for Gut Health

Blueberries are widely known for their antioxidant properties, particularly anthocyanins, which give them their beautiful blue color. These compounds help fight oxidative stress and inflammation in the body, promoting overall wellness. 

Blueberries are also a good source of fiber, supporting regular digestion and feeding the beneficial bacteria in your microbiome. Incorporating blueberries regularly can help support gut barrier integrity and reduce the risk of inflammation-related digestive concerns. 

The Power of Leaky Gut Revive®

To make these blueberry bites truly nourishing for your gut, I added a scoop of AMMD™’s Leaky Gut Revive®. This powerful formula combines L-glutamine, aloe vera extract, licorice root extract, arabinogalactan, slippery elm, and marshmallow root to soothe the intestinal lining and promote gut repair. L-glutamine is an amino acid that fuels the cells lining your gut, helping them to regenerate and seal any areas of permeability. Aloe vera and slippery elm offer a soothing effect on the digestive tract, while licorice root supports a healthy inflammatory response.

Adding Leaky Gut Revive® to recipes is one of my favorite ways to incorporate gut-repairing nutrients seamlessly into your routine. Its mild, neutral flavor mixes perfectly into these blueberry bites, allowing you to enjoy the benefits without altering the taste.

How To Make Leaky Gut Blueberry Bites

Making these blueberry bites couldn’t be simpler. Start by gathering your ingredients: tigernut flour, Leaky Gut Revive®, organic dried apricots, dried blueberries, blueberry powder, vanilla extract, and fresh lemon zest.

In your food processor, combine the tigernut flour, dried apricots, blueberry powder, vanilla extract, Leaky Gut Revive®, and lemon zest. Blend the mixture until it begins to clump together. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of your food processor to ensure everything is evenly combined. Once the base mixture is smooth and sticky, add in the dried blueberries. Pulse just a few times to incorporate them without breaking them down completely. The chewy pieces of blueberry create little pockets of sweetness in each bite.

Using a tablespoon measure, scoop out the mixture and roll it between your palms to form small, compact balls. Place each ball onto a plate or baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking. For the best texture, refrigerate the bites for at least 20 minutes to firm them up before enjoying.

These energy bites can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week, making them a convenient grab-and-go option for busy mornings or mid-afternoon slumps. If you’d like to keep them longer, simply freeze them in a sealed container for up to one month. Before eating, allow them to thaw at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly.

So, whether you’re heading out for a summer hike, packing lunches for your children, or simply looking for a nourishing treat that won’t spike your blood sugar, these Leaky Gut Blueberry Bites are a delicious way to care for your gut while satisfying your cravings. 

If you’re ready to support your gut health from the inside out, Leaky Gut Revive® is one of the most effective formulas developed. I use it daily to protect and strengthen my own gut lining. Adding it to your favorite recipes is an easy way to incorporate the benefits without a second thought.
