Benefits of Blueberries
You may have heard that blueberries boost your memory power, but did you know that they can help improve your vision and have anti-aging effects as well? There is also new research in animal studies showing promise for blueberries’ role in helping with depression. How is that for a health boost?!
Where to Get Your Blueberries for Your Overnight Oats
While you can find blueberries at any local supermarket, keep in mind that they’re easy and fun to grow! You can plant them in pots filled with peat moss which is super lightweight and requires no heavy lifting. I buy new small plants at the farmer’s market and I’m already up to 5 big bushes and a decent harvest!
