Summer has rolled in, and it's brought a delightful gift - an abundance of summer fruits.

Among these, one stands out: the superfruit of the season, blueberries.

Right now, local farms are bursting with these nutrient-dense fruits.  I'm seizing this opportunity, stocking up, and freezing blueberries for use throughout the year.

What makes blueberries my favorite summer fruit?

It's not just their delicious flavor.  These little gems are incredibly versatile in various recipes.  But the biggest draw is their remarkable health benefits.  Their nutrient density is off the charts!

Blueberries help to strengthen the antioxidant status of virtually every body system...

That's not all.  Regular consumption of blueberry recipes can work wonders for your cardiovascular health.  It has been shown to reduce total cholesterol, raise HDL cholesterol, and decrease triglycerides.

But the benefits don't stop there...

These superfruits can lower the risk of oxidative stress in our nerve cells.  This means improved cognitive function.  Plus, they have a positive impact on blood sugar regulation.

This weekend, I'm dedicating my time to these beautiful berries.  I'll be cleaning and freezing them, ready for when I need them.

And then comes the fun part - grain-free baking.  I'll be incorporating blueberries into some scrumptious dishes, perfect for stowing away for later consumption.

Since blueberries are the seasonal produce of the moment, I'm sharing some of my favorite Paleo recipes below.  Each one celebrates this superfruit!

These nutrient-dense fruit recipes are perfect for enjoying blueberries in a variety of ways.  Whether it's in a fresh salad, eaten as they are, or with a drizzle of coconut butter on top, these blue gems are a real treat.

Enjoy the bounty of summer with these blueberry delights!
