Blueberries
Go Blue!

They may be tiny, but blueberries deliver loads of nutrition with very few calories. Blueberries are one of nature’s top antioxidant fruits. Antioxidants are believed to help protect against some cancers.* And according to the Produce for Better Health Foundation, blue and purple fruits and vegetables may promote urinary tract health, memory function and healthy aging.

MyPyramid recommends 2 cups of fruit per day †, so be sure to enjoy some Super Star berries, including blackberries, cranberries, raspberries, and strawberries!

Enjoy berries at any meal:

• Mix berries with low-fat yogurt, then sprinkle with granola
• Start your day with a smoothie: ice, berries, banana, and soy or non-fat milk
• Add frozen berries to your hot cereal
• Top angel food cake with colorful berries
• Add dried berries to salads

*   Low-fat diets rich in fruits and vegetables may reduce the risk of some types of cancer, a disease which may have several causes.
