Berry Season is here, and these sweet, delicious summer snacks provide a lot more than great flavor...
These powerful, disease-fighting fruits are in abundance this time of year, and are available in a variety of colors and flavors. Berries have some of the highest antioxidant levels of any fresh fruit.
Blackberries & Raspberries are a sweet, nutrient and fiber rich, high antioxidant-containing sweet treat.
How to enjoy: Blend them with greek yogurt and a touch of vanilla extract, and place in ice pop molds with a popsicle stick and let freeze!
Blackberries are in season starting in May through July.
Look for raspberries in June into August.
Blueberries, also high in fiber and flavor, contain an array of different antioxidants which give them their blue-violet and red colors.
How to Enjoy: Toss a handful on cereals, yogurt, or even pancakes (or add to the batter).
Blueberries are in season from June through August.
Strawberries contain more vitamin C per serving, than an orange, and are en excellent source of folic acid.
How to serve: Top with Cool Whip or Greek yogurt for a low-calorie dessert or add to a bowl of mixed greens, for a sweet way to enhance any seasonal salad.
Strawberries from California and Florida are available all year round, but local berries are best between April and July.
