Hey guys, now that summer’s coming to an end, it’s time to take advantage of the sun while you still can. Today, I have one last summer snack recipe to share with you. The original idea of Berries on a Stick came from drinkthepink. It’s a delicious, simple, and nutritious recipe that you should definitely try.
All you’ll need for this recipe are fresh blueberries (or any berry of your choice), some miniature bamboo skewers, and Greek yogurt. Simply put the berries on a stick like a shish kabob and dip them in Greek yogurt to coat evenly. Place the skewers in the freezer until the yogurt coating firms up, and serve on a plate.
Greek yogurt high levels of calcium and protein, and contains no saturated fats or cholesterol. This makes it incredibly beneficial to both the heart and the bones.
Berries are an excellent source of nutrients and vitamins and are low in saturated fats and cholesterol. Different berries contain different nutrients, but all of them are beneficial to your health.
Blueberries are a great source of dietary fiber, manganese, and vitamins C and K. This berry contains a high level of antioxidants which are great for the skin. The high vitamin K and antioxidants concentration makes blueberries a common ingredient in under eye dark circle treatment creams.
Raspberries contain high levels of phosphorous and calcium, as well as vitamins A and C. It is widely used as an ingredient in weight loss teas because of it’s high fiber contents.
Blackberries contain large amounts of potassium and copper, and is also a good source of vitamins C and K. This berry is recently noted for it’s ability to prevent cancer. Blackberries also contain a fair amount of vitamin E which is known for its positive effects on the skin.
Strawberries are noted, in a recent study, to contain more vitamin C than cucumbers. While 52g of cucumbers contain 1.5 mg of Vitamin C, 52 g of strawberries will contain 30.6 mg. Vitamin C aids collagen synthesis which slows down the aging process of the skin.
Overall, this snack is extremely healthy. Adding to the fact that it is absolutely delicious and takes almost no time to make, I suggest for you to definitely give it a try. Bon appetit!
