These bars meet my ultimate combination checklist. They are delicious, vibrant and pack superpowers.

Turmeric is a very popular anti-inflammatory spice but can be challenging to use outside of spicy dishes or turmeric teas. This recipe uses turmeric in a subtle way that just adds a note of complexity to the dessert.

The main flavors of this dessert are layered mango, coconut, lemon, raspberry and a hint of turmeric.

These bars only lasted two days in our house. They are that good. And, did I mention how vibrantly beautiful they are?

I highly recommend trying these bars this summer.
