Blueberries, Crunch and Cream*
 
 
I adapted this recipe for a nutrient dense power snack or mini-meal when I watched a PBS special by Dr. Daniel Amen, a neurologist who uses whole foods and natural supplements to get people healthier, both emotionally and physically. This is a variation of one of his favorite snacks or mini meals that he uses as a dessert as well. This will help nourish you while staving off any cravings and will put the breaks on over eating at mealtime. This can be a good breakfast as well. Greek yogurt has a lot more protein than regular yogurt and has a thicker and creamier consistency. Blueberries are loaded with phyto chemicals and antioxidants. Raw nuts and seeds maintain the live enzymes and essential fatty acids that cooked foods do not.

Ingredients
  • 1-8 ounce container organic or no BST (Bovine Stimulating Growth Hormone) or antibiotic treated Greek yogurt, plain or vanilla flavored
  • 1-2 tablespoons ground organic flaxseed
  • 1 teaspoon honey, maple syrup stevia or agave (optional)
  • ½ cup frozen organic blueberries, may use fresh when in season
  • 2 tablespoons slivered or sliced raw almonds
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (only if you use plain yogurt)
Instructions
  1. In a cereal size bowl, mix all of the ingredients with a spoon and wait a couple of minutes to slightly thaw the blueberries, then enjoy! I love eating this when the blueberries are still partially frozen as they feel like little fruity popsicles as you eat the mixture. Notice how great you feel when you eat mini meals like this!
