Blueberries are low in calories, high in fiber, and are a low glycemic fruit which means that they won't spike your blood sugar levels! Plus, they contain 14 mg of vitamin C per 1 cup of blueberries.
I try to eat them every day. If you can't get them fresh... pick up organic frozen Blueberries from Trader Joe's. They are reasonably priced and delicious!
You can:
- Toss them in the blender for a morning smoothie...don't forget to add protein powder to start your day with balanced blood sugar levels.
- Add them to your morning cereal.
- Spread almond or peanut butter on toast and top with fresh blueberries...kids will love this one!
- Or, toss them in your salad for an extra kick of antioxidants.
Pick up some Fresh or Frozen blueberries to amp up your antioxidant load. The best part is they taste amazing so you won't realize that your are eating something that is so good for you!

Hooray for blueberries! They also compliment Goat Cheese beautifully. I know it sounds kind of questionable, but believe me it's spectacular (especially if they're super sweet!).
The kids and I love blueberries. It's one of the healthy foods they eat willingly:) Thanks for some of the ideas to add them to other foods. We usually just snack on them alone , I am going to try some of these ideas.
You are right, blueberries as well as cherries are so good for you, and a good low fat snack. Dr Oz also says a red wine is also good to put into our day. I enjoyed reading your blog.
