If you are looking for a great summer treat that isn’t too sweet, blueberries might be the best snack around. These little round purple-blue berries are a great healthy option for breakfast, snacks, dessert and even as part of a meal. Blueberries provide a high dose of antioxidants and research has shown they can provide benefits in bone health, cholesterol control, and improving cardiovascular health.
