I've been eating a lot of blueberries lately-you probably have been, too! They are sweet, tangy, and delicious. Since they're in season, they're cheaper than usual-bonus. My smoothies contain them, I eat them plain or in a salad, and my kids love 'em. Another bonus:they're good for you, too!
From Wikipedia:
"Blueberries have a diverse range of micronutrients, with notably high levels of the essential dietary mineral manganese, vitamin B6, vitamin C, vitamin K and dietary fiber. One serving provides a relatively low glycemic load score of 4 out of 100 per day.
Especially in wild species, blueberries contain anthocyanins, other antioxidant pigments and various phytochemicals possibly having a role in reducing risks of some diseases, including inflammation and different cancers."

Here's my recipe for a BLUEBERRY PINA COLADA (gone green!):
1/2 CUP FROZEN WILD BLUEBERRIES
2 LEAVES OF KALE
1 CUP FRESH PINEAPPLE
1 BANANA
1/2 CUP COCONUT MILK
1/4 CUP HEMP MILK
Soooo delicious-I had it this morning!! Enjoy!
