Superfoods for Healthy Lifestyle Eating, Blueberries

#2 on my list of Healthy Lifestyle Superfood's, are Blueberries.

I love blueberries and eat them everyday. Nutrition content: they are high in antioxidants, vitamin A, C, K and Folate Choline. Minerals: Potassium manganese and magnesium, in addition they will give you fiber as well! Superfood's always make the list when they have a nutritive content, when we add them to foods, we get a boost. Blueberries do that, eat them on their own, on cereal, in baked goods, salads and great with fish! They are in season now, so look at your supermarket, co-op or health food store and you may find them on special. and try the following recipe for Banana Blueberry Flax Muffins! Enjoy! Blueberry Banana Flax muffins Heat Oven 375, prepare Muffin tin with papers and/or cooking spray 1 ¾ cups flour (I do a combination of quinoa and spelt) 1 ¾ cup flax meal ¼ cup organic sugar (if you want no sugar you can omit) ¾ cup sunflower seeds 1 t salt 1 t cinnamon ¾ t baking powder ¾ t baking soda Mix all of the above ingredients in a large bowl In separate bowl or electric mixer Combine: 4 medium bananas mashed, 3 beaten large eggs ¾ cup milk: (sub coconut milk, soy or almond) 4 T melted vegan butter 2 t vanilla extract Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients until combined, fold in two cups of fresh or frozen blueberries. Divide the batter among the muffin cups (batter will come to the top of the cups) Bake until a tooth pick inserted in the center comes out clean. 25 to 30 minutes. Cool, if you spray the muffin papers, the paper will fall away naturally when you take it out of the tin. www.moonlilyyoga.com Peace and Light, Denise
