Bountiful Blueberries

July is National Blueberry Month. Not making this up. There is a government proclamation to prove it. Don’t miss out on partaking of these healthy and bountiful beauties this month!

Blueberries contain lots of beneficial nutrients including vitamins C, E, A, and K, B complex, copper, selenium, zinc, iron, manganese and fiber. They are very high in anti-oxidants that neutralize free radicals. Several components help to boost your immune system.

Blueberries also promote the health of your urinary tract system, your vision, your brain and memory, your heart and your digestive system. Lots of good reasons to eat those blueberries!

I haven’t had blueberries in awhile but the picture definitely makes me want some. I love eating them plain – rinse. eat. repeat.

I actually have some blueberries in the kitchen. I think I will be sure to place them in my smoothie today. Thanks for all the recipes.
