Super food of the week: blueberries



Blueberries: Okay, folks, these are in season NOW, so it’s a great time to get them super duper fresh (and inexpensive) at your grocery store OR you can burn some extra calories while getting some vitamin D and pick them yourself. I took my son yesterday and I feel great about his love of these blue super-foods.

Blueberries are one of the most nutritious fruits. They have only about 85 calories per cup (100-150 berries…wowzer!), plus they pack in 4 grams of fiber. Blueberries are also super high in antioxidants and new research shows that they can improve memory. So eat some; put them on your oatmeal, in your salads or just grab a handful.
