It's official. I'm sick. Really sick with fever. UGH! I'm trying to remain positive and find the goodness in being at home with nothing to do. I'm thankful for a nice home, clean sheets that smell like GAIN(my favorite), an abundance of soups to chose from on a daily basis, 2 adorable dogs that give me non-stop lovin and my favorite new find, Blueberry Tea.
Funny thing is I love this tea, In fact, I love all things blueberry, except actual blueberries. I love blueberry muffins, but will pick them out if they're too big and juicy. I love blueberry popsicles, snow-balls, taffy, sorbet and now add tea to that list. Besides being a "super food", it just tastes so darn good! I love the benefits And what are they you might ask? Blueberries contain 14 mg of Vitamin C and 0.8 mg Vitamin E per 1 cup of blueberries. In addition, blueberries contain anthocyanins and phenolics that can also act as antioxidants. Based on data from the USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging (Boston, MA), blueberries are among the fruits with the highest antioxidant activity. Using a test called ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity), researchers have shown that a serving of fresh blueberries provides more antioxidant activity than many other fresh fruits and vegetables.
I'm off to bed with my agave & honey sweetened blueberry tea and hoping to battle my flu with some of mother nature's best!
