If you like blueberries you're in luck! The little treasures are getting credit for everything from better brain functioning to reducing adverse effects of radiation treatment. A study at the University of Mississippi even found blueberries were better at lowering cholesterol than a common drug, without the nasty side effects. Why? It's the pigment! Fruits and veggies with lots of colors are better for you. If you want the science, read this article. Pick up some fresh or frozen blueberries to toss into cereal, salads and smoothies, and treat yourself to blueberry juice too!
The frozen ones are great with yogurt too. I'm using them instead of ice cream because they cause the yogurt to freeze as well. They're very satisfying.
