blueberries
Host to more antioxidants than any other North American fruit, blueberries can help prevent cancer, diabetes, and age-related memory changes (hence the nickname “brain berry”). Studies show that blueberries, which are rich in fiber and vitamins A and C, also boost cardiovascular health. Aim for 1 cup fresh blueberries a day, or 1/2 cup frozen or dried. An easy way to get it in as you start your day is our amazing blueberry smoothie!
Substitutes: Acai berries, purple grapes, prunes, raisins, strawberries
Get your fix: Blueberries maintain most of their power in dried, frozen, or jam form.
Whip this up: Acai, an Amazonian berry, has even more antioxidants than the blueberry. Try acai juice from Sambazon or add 2 tablespoons acai pulp to cereal, yogurt, or a smoothie.
