BERRIES
HOW MUCH? Half a cup of small berries (e.g. blueberries) or one cup large (e.g. strawberries) a day WHY? Berries are loaded with vitamin C, folate, fibre and phytonutrients. And fresh berries are some of the most powerful disease-fighting foods available because of their high levels of antioxidants.

TRY…
Blueberries or cranberries in yoghurt, muffins, scones or pikelets
Strawberries in smoothies or stewed with apple
Preserving blackberries and raspberries for use as a jam or sauce, or blending and freezing to make sorbet.
