Healthy Rhubarb Recipes
Have rhubarb growing in your garden? Or maybe you love the flavor of rhubarb but looking for a low sugar? low carb? easy? gluten-free? rhubarb recipe? I've got something for you!
Most of these recipes contain both strawberries and rhubarb, that's because they are such a good pair! They both are an early summer crop and create incredible flavor.
Rhubarb Oat Bars
Made with an oat crust and homemade strawberry rhubarb jam, this is an easy recipe and a perfect evening treat or afternoon snack with a cup of tea!
Rhubarb Smoothie
This is a wonderful quick healthy rhubarb recipe where you don't need to cook the rhubarb first! A high-power blender will create the best results.

Rhubarb Tips
If you are growing rhubarb in your garden here are a few tips! (What I wish I knew a when I started gardening!)
- Leave one-third of the plant unharvested to make sure there are lots of roots for future growth.
- Sweeter, tender, light pink rhubarb can be specifically produced by placing a large dark bucket overtop of the plant!
- It's best to harvest your plant in May, June, early July, and then let it recharge for next years growth.
- If your rhubarb starts to grow a stalk with a bulb you can remove this before it blooms to extend the harvest season.
