Vitamix for Blueberry Smoothie

Blueberries, Blueberries, Blueberries. The Super Food used in my how-to video that I'd like to share with you.  But first, a word or two about blueberries. We have all heard of carrots being good for our eyes and eyesight, but how about blueberries? Naturpaths recommend taking a standardized bilberry extract (containing 25 percent anthocyanidin) at a dose of 80 to 160 milligrams three times a day.  Or, eating a cup of blueberries is good too.

According to the Reader’s Digest book Foods That Harm, Foods That Heal, blueberries have the following health benefits:

HEALTH BENEFITS OF BLUEBERRIES

                                                                     TIPS
I like to buy fresh organic blueberries. However, do freeze them if you won't get around to using them.
