]]> Blueberries have the power to take pretty much any dessert to the next level, and Tessa Arias loves them as much as the rest of us. On her food blog Handle the Heat, she shared many recipes that put these delicious barriers front and center, and here are five of the very best.

Blueberry Muffins

If you’re new to baking and want to start things off with an easy recipe, you can’t go wrong with blueberry muffins since they’re truly a timeless classic.

Lemon Blueberry Cupcakes

After mastering the recipe for blueberry muffins, making cupcakes should be easy. Swirled buttercream, made with blueberries, lemon zest, whipped cream, and butter, makes this dessert extra delicious.

Homemade Blueberry Pie

Blueberry pie is another timeless classic worth baking and you won’t be able to resist its crispy crust and luscious filling.

Blueberry Peach Pie

Arias is obviously a huge fan of blueberry pies and she made this one even more amazing by adding some peaches to the mix.

No Bake Frozen Blueberry Pie

If you want to bake a pie without firing up your oven, this recipe is just the thing you need. Arias’ no-bake frozen blueberry pie is one of the best blubbery desserts on her blog, and you’ll especially enjoy it if you’re a fan of cheesecakes.

]]> Do you have a furry, four-legged companion in your home? While we all know that dogs, if they could, would eat “human” foods at every possible opportunity—some foods are safer and healthier than others for your pets.

Fruits are generally a pretty good bet as a food that both you and your dog can enjoy. However, these are the ones you can rely on more than others.

Blueberries

Blueberries are low in sugar and contain nothing that can harm dogs. In fact, their high antioxidant content is also helpful for boosting your pup’s immune system and keeping it healthy. They’ll love biting into these little blue beauties.

Bananas

One treat we love giving to our dogs on special occasions is a little bit of sliced banana. Don’t give them too much, as they do contain a good bit of sugar, but a few slices of banana every so often is a tasty treat they’ll love, while giving them a bit of fiber and potassium.

Seedless Watermelon

Looking for a treat your dog will love on a hot summer day? Watermelon is nearly 95% water and low in sugar, making it an ideal, refreshing treat for your canine companion. Just be sure to give it to them in a seedless form without the rind, as these two elements could cause intestinal system blockages if given to your dog.

]]> If you have it on a regular basis for breakfast in the morning, cereal can get really boring. Let’s face it, if you’re eating a healthy cereal like Cheerios or Wheaties every day, you can even get to the point of dreading your morning breakfast if you don’t switch things up a bit.

One of my favorite ways to do this is to add sliced fruit or berries to my cereals every morning. Here are three fruits that you can try!

Banana

Slicing a banana and putting in on my cereal is a tradition I have kept going since I was a young kid. Adding the delicious sweetness to a normal type of cereal makes for both a sweet and a nutritious breakfast choice.

Strawberries

A handful of strawberries sliced up and placed upon a bed of cereal and milk is another great way to kick off your morning. The sweet and tangy flavor of these berries work together perfectly with the flavors of milk and the grains that make up cereal.

Blueberries

Finally, if you want a super easy choice that you don’t even have to use a knife to slice up to put in your cereal, why not try blueberries? These tart and slightly sweet little berries are a great option, if you’re looking for a simple choice that isn’t as sweet as the two previous options.

]]> We’ve all had that awful morning after a crazy night. A pounding headache, nausea and the feeling that you can’t keep your eyes open. It can all become better with the right drink. This hangover smoothie recipe is the strongest energy boost you’ll ever get. It’s all natural with fruits and vegetables that don’t cost a fortune. It’s called the blueberry and spinach superfood green smoothie.

Ingredients:

To prepare this hangover smoothie you will need basics that you probably have in the freezer. As the name suggests, get one cup spinach and 1/2 cup blueberries. Also get one banana and 1/4 cup of either coconut milk, water, orange juice, apple juice or almond milk to your choice. The last thing you need is four ice cubes. The simplest ingredient list ever.

What says "spring" more than vibrant green and flowers? 😊🙈 I hope you agree with me, Helena @miss.mullberry because I want to bring this green smoothie bowl to your #hellospring10k party 😊🙈. I hope you like it and congratulations on 10k!😙🤗 . Guys, I have to make a confession 🙈. I hate matcha 😁🙈. Well, maybe hate is a strong word, but I really, really dislike it 🙈😁. Nevertheless, I wanted a vibrant green smoothie so, Eva @fitomatoes gave me the idea of adding spinach instead of matcha to my smoothie and that's what I did 🙈😋. This is my BANANA MANGO SPINACH smoothie and it literally tastes like dessert 😋🤤. Thank you, Eva, for the tip! I topped my smoothie with some fresh berries, banana, @rapunzel_naturkost puffed quinoa and two carnation flowers 😍. Can you guys believe I never added spinach to my smoothies before? 🙈 Gonna do it more often from now on though 🙆🏼😋. Happy Wednesday, my beautiful friends!😙🤗 . BANANA MANGO SPINACH smoothie: 😊 🍌 1 frozen banana 🍌 1 fresh banana 🍌 1/2 frozen mango 🍌 1/2 fresh mango 🍌 a handful of fresh baby spinach 🍌 1 tbsp maple syrup 🍌 1 tbsp hemp seeds 🍌 1 tsp vanilla extract 🍌 2-3 tbsp milk of choice* * add liquid only if necesarry 😉 . Add all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings. 😊😋 . . . . #greensmoothie#spinachsmoothie#smoothie#smoothiebowl#smoothiebowls#healthy#healthychoices#rawvegan#vegan#veganrecipes#veganfoodporn#plantbased#foodismedicine#eattogrow#healthyeats#paleo#eatbetternotless#flatlaytoday#todayfood#whatsinmybowl#dreambowl#vegancomunity#onthetable#smoothieporn#gloobyfood#bestofvegan#thenewhealthy#nourishyourbody

A post shared by Andreea 🦋 Breakfast & more (@andreeasbreakfast) on

Preparation:

Put the banana, blueberries, the juice or milk, and ice cubes together in a blender. Blend them until you get a creamy mixture. This is the time when you add the cup of fresh spinach and blend again. You won’t be needing any sugar, but if you feel like you want the hangover smoothie to be sweeter, simply add some stevia to it. This is literally the best eye-opening recipe ever.

]]> Working out is great, but what you eat is even more important. Choosing the right pre-workout foods is essential if you want to get that perfectly toned body. Check out the list of food you should eat before working out that will change the way you feel and look.

Oatmeal

The best thing about oats is that you can get really creative. In other words, you will never get bored as long as you play with toppings. They are rich in complex carbohydrates that slowly release the energy.

Fruit Smoothies

A fruit smoothie is one of the best pre-workout foods, because of the high glucose content. Before you head to the gym you need a boost of energy, and this is a great way to get it.

Omelette

Eggs are the ultimate food for people who exercise. Make sure that you have your omelette at least 2 hours before heading to the gym.

Greek Yogurt And Blueberries

This tasty combo is one of the best pre-workout foods you can have. It will provide you with just enough protein, plus give you a great boost of energy. Both the yogurt and the blueberries are available in every single supermarket.

Peanut Butter And Jelly

This is another great mix of carbs and protein, which is exactly what you need before exercise.
