Fresh or frozen, blueberries are tops
Categories: Nutrition & Supplements
I've heard it before: Blueberries are tops. More confirmation: Real Age says the blue berry -- linked to healthy skin, hearts, and eyes and powerful enough to keep cancer, diabetes, and Alzheimer's a bay -- is so good we should be eating one to two cups per day. It's not always easy to score fresh blueberries, though. Never fear: The frozen variety is just as good for you. Here, a bunch of ideas for using frozen berries so you can satisfy your cup-a-day.- Put a cup of frozen berries in the fridge in the evening to defrost; in the morning, sprinkle over cereal or stir into yogurt.
- Throw some berries in a blender and whip up a quick fruit smoothie.
- Use a few as edible ice cubes in your favorite drinks.
- Eat them plain, like tiny popsicles.
- Add to a fruit salad about 15 minutes before serving.
- Toss a handful into muffin or quick-bread batter. Add five to 15 minutes to the baking time to compensate for their chilling effect.
