NOTE: This tasty little sweet pleasure is easy and quick to prepare.
It brings you a nice amount of muscle building proteins along with all the antioxidants blueberries are bringing.
Researchers at the USDA Human Nutrition Center (HNRCA) have found that blueberries rank #1 in antioxidant activity when compared to 40 other fresh fruits and vegetables.
Antioxidants help neutralize harmful by-products of metabolism called "free radicals" that can lead to cancer and other age related diseases.
Anthocyanin -- the pigment that makes the blueberries blue -- is thought to be responsible for this major health benefit.
