 Fun and Easy Ways to Eat Your "5 A
Day"
Information from the North American Blueberry Council
Blueberries are a summertime favorite and
all you need is 1 cup to count as one serving of your 5 A Day. This summer,
load up on blueberries! They are one of nature’s true convenience foods,
because all you need to do is simply wash and enjoy their sweet/tart
flavor.
|
|
Breakfast: toss blueberries into your favorite hot or cold cereal,
add blueberries when making pancakes, muffins, breakfast breads, and
waffles, add blueberries to non-fat yogurt, or pile blueberries into a
cantaloupe half.
|
|
|
Snacking: eat blueberries out of hand, make a blueberry
blender drink with non-fat yogurt, mix blueberries with non-fat cottage
cheese, drop frozen blueberries in sparkling water for a refreshing summer
drink.
|
|
|
Meals: sprinkle blueberries into fruit or green salads,
make a tangy blueberry sauce to serve with poultry, fish and meat.
|
|
|
Desserts: use blueberries as a topping on angel food cake,
make a blueberry sauce for fruit or sorbet desserts, serve a dish of
blueberries for dessert, spoon over low-fat ice cream or frozen yogurt,
make a blueberry cobbler or pie.
|
|
|
Freezing: If you have extra blueberries you can freeze
them to eat later. Wash them and let them dry before freezing. Arrange
berries in a single layer on a cookie sheet and freeze. After they are
frozen, transfer the berries to plastic bags or freezer containers.
