July's Best Snack


There is more to celebrate this July than our nation’s birthday. It’s also National Blueberry Month!

Did you know that blueberries are one of the best sources for vitamins A, C and E? The little berries contain antioxidants and can boost health, helping to prevent internal infections, and even cancer.

Here are some quick, easy recipes to make the most of this summer fruit:

  • Smoothie: Blend low-fat organic vanilla yogurt, ice, and fresh fruit for a refreshing snack this summer. Combining blueberries with other favorite fruits will produce you the perfect sweet treat.
  • Yogurt Parfait: Mix low-fat organic vanilla yogurt, granola and blueberries for a protein-rich snack.
  • Salad: Spruce up your favorite salad for sweet option. Top off with a light poppy seed dressing. 
So celebrate the red, white and blueberries.
