At the Academy of Culinary Nutrition, summertime is peak berry season. As we prefer to eat foods when they’re in season, we fully take advantage of the short but sweet amount of time that blueberries are available by making an abundance of blueberry recipes (in addition to eating them fresh from the basket, of course!).
Blueberries are tiny powerhouses of nutrients – they are truly an everyday superfood. Blueberries, like other members of the berry family, are:
There are many ways you can add blueberries to your rotation. They’re fantastic in smoothies, dairy-free ice cream, oatmeal or porridge, gluten-free baked goods and other sweet treats, but they also work well in savoury contexts, too!
Who says blueberry recipes have to be sweet treats? This salad is bursting with textures and flavours from roasted butternut squash, dark leafy greens, cooked quinoa, crunchy cabbage and, of course, a tasty blueberry dressing to tie it all together.
Everyone loves a portable recipe, right? These blueberry bars can be a delicious breakfast (especially when topped with coconut yogurt) or a snack you pack into your lunchbox.
You certainly don’t need tomatoes for a great salsa! This blueberry version is great for dipping your tortilla chips into, serving over tacos or as a topping for your protein of choice.
If you’ve got any beet-resisters in your household, you can probably convince them to love this root vegetable by dousing it in a sticky blueberry glaze. Serve these on their own as a side dish, or throw atop a salad or dinner bowl.
Everyone needs a basic blueberry smoothie! With only five ingredients, you can easily customize this to your taste by adding spices, greens, or other fruit and veg.
Your mocktail will be both refreshing and great for gut health with the addition of kombucha. If you’ve never made kombucha before, you can find our step-by-step guide here.
You will not miss the gluten at all when you bake up a batch of these tender gluten-free blueberry scones.
