So I got a small crate and look at Mother Nature's edible sapphires:
Fresh blueberries taste like a mellow duhat. A little sweet, a little tart, a little fragrant. I love it! I had enough to make smoothies and toppings for pancakes and my breakfast oatmeal, but I also wanted to make my own blueberry recipe. Check this out!
Blueberry Honey Oatmeal Bars
INGREDIENTS
1 cup walnuts, chopped
½ cup oatmeal
¼ cup US Blueberries
1 cup walnuts, chopped
½ cup oatmeal
¼ cup US Blueberries
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 tablespoons coconut oil
1 tablespoon butter
3 tablespoons honey
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 160°C. Grease aluminum foil and line an 8-inch square baking pan with it. You can also use parchment paper. Set aside.
2. Add nuts, oatmeal, sugar, and blueberries to a large bowl. Mix well.
3. In another bowl, whisk together oil, butter, and honey.
4. Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients. Stir and fold until well mixed.
5. Pour the mixture into the baking pan. Use a spatula to distribute and tightly press the berry oatmeal mixture.
6. Bake for 20 minutes.
7. Cool until completely firm, about 1 hour. Slice into bars and store in a jar or a Ziplock bag. Enjoy!
Don't feel like cooking? No worries! Because it's a fruit, blueberries are delicious and perfect on its own. Just pop in your mouth. You won't stop at one, I guarantee it. It's so simple and easy, it's the perfect snack!

Blueberries are nutritious, too. So mommy me was happy to offer them to my kiddos. I checked just how healthy blueberries are (I always have to, to convince my kids to eat anything that doesn't resemble candy haha) and here's what I found:
Blueberries are full of antioxidants.
Blueberries are an excellent source of Vitamin C.
This vitamin protects cells against damage by neutralizing free radicals, builds collagen so we stay looking younger longer, helps our skin recover from damage faster, and aids in the absorption of iron.
Blueberries help manage your blood sugar levels.
These little balls of blue contain soluble fiber, which helps slow down the rate at which sugar is released into the bloodstream. Plus, fiber is always good for your digestive system!
Blueberries are low in calories.
With only 80 calories per serving, feel free to pop a few in your mouth!
These are just a few of the nutritional benefits I listed down. I'll share more in another post since I'm so inspired to make a few more dishes with all these blueberries I have!
Fresh blueberries are now available at S&R Membership Shopping, Always Fresh PH, Fruit Loot PH, and Dizon Farms Delivers.
