Berrylicious Baby!

It’s officially summertime! That means that there are all kinds of delectable berries that are at the pique of sweetness, juiciness and amazingness!

Right now, there are berries galore! Think strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, white raspberries, blackberries, even huckleberries!

They pack a serious nutrient punch! These sweet temptations help with your memory, prevent aging diseases (such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinsons), prevent heart disease, lower blood pressure and even help with weight loss.  Woo hoo!

One of my favorite things to do is go to farmer’s market and pick up produce that was just growing in the earth or on a vine. Is there anything better?

What’s your favorite berry? This weekend, go to a farmer’s market and grab some!
