Today’s Tip: Benefits of Berries

So many types of berries, so little time.

• Blueberries
• Blackberries
• Raspberries
• Strawberries
• Cranberries

and more!

Berries have many wonderful health benefits.  They are a great source of fiber and many contain vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and more.  You should add berries to your diet on a regular basis.  Some are only good in the summer but look in your grocer’s freezer so you can benefit all year round.  The frozen berries are just as good, in my opinion.  I especially like that berries are low calorie and naturally sweet.

I have added berries to smoothies, yogurt, oatmeal, fruit salads and cold cereal.  Yum!
