5 Minute Blueberry Green Apple Mixup

21 Apr 5 Minute Blueberry Green Apple Mixup

When you are starving, flavor can take a backseat to anything fast. But that doesn’t have to be the case. You could eat blueberries and an apple and call it a day, but when you take under 5 minutes to cut up the apple and add some great spices, you’re looking at a snack time fruit salad that’s deserving of being served any time.

The Granny Smith apple is crisp and tart, while giving you antioxidants, soluble fiber (which can help drop cholesterol, control weight, and regulate blood sugar), vitamins A and C, trace amounts of iron, and more! The cinnamon regulates blood sugar, fights cancer, and is an anti-bacterial. Nutritionally it provides manganese, fiber, iron, and calcium.

STEPS TO SOMETHING DELICIOUS
