Berries in general are great, and many people have no issue with eating them due to their naturally sweet flavor. There are a variety to choose from and all contain health benefits, so you really can't go wrong with any type you choose. With so many choices though, you may find yourself debating which kind to buy on your next trip to the grocery store- but let me tell you, grabbing a container of blueberries would be a very wise decision!
Incredibly rich in antioxidants, these small health-bombs have an insane amount of benefits. Blueberries are a great source of fiber, potassium, vitamins C and E, and also help to reduce stress, boost your metabolism, and aid in blood flow and memory function. Blueberries are low in fat and devoid of saturated fat, making them a great snack and a nutritious addition to other foods and drinks such as greek yogurt, oatmeal, smoothies, pancakes, and juices.
If you don't think you'll be able to finish the whole container before they go bad, opt for frozen blueberries instead. Stored in the freezer, they'll last you quite a long time- just be sure to check the packing to make sure they don't contain added sugar to avoid excess calories (they are already sweet, after all). With so much to gain, there's no reason not to pick up some blueberries on your next trip to the food store!
