Blueberries! 11 Delicious Ways To Add Healthy Blueberries To Your Day

This post may contain affiliate links. Please see our disclosure policy for details.

Spring and summer mean we will be eating as many blueberries as possible! Toss them onto your cereal, stir into yogurt, or try one of our 11 recipes – sweet and savory – to incorporate these nutritious berries into your day. Blueberries are rich in vitamin K, which plays an important role in promoting heart and bone health, as well as being one of the best natural sources of antioxidants. But truth be told, we eat them because we can’t get enough of their sweet/tart taste.

Fresh Blueberry Pie

What is Fresh Blueberry Pie? A pie that is so blueberry-y that it is practically incomprehensible. It is made by cooking blueberries on top of the stove until they are jammy, and then folding in fresh blueberries and the whole shebang is poured into a flaky, pre-baked crust. Get the recipe for Fresh Blueberry Pie.

Maple Blueberry Compote

Take two fantastic low FODMAP ingredients, combine them and voila! A whole new recipe to add to your FODMAP repertoire. We love using pure maple syrup and thankfully, it is low FODMAP in small amounts. In fact, since it is made up of a far greater proportion of glucose than fructose, it never veers into high FODMAP territory. The small amounts recommended are due to general healthy eating guidelines. Blueberries are low FODMAP too, but also in small amounts. For blueberries, larger servings tip the FODMAP scales into fructan territory, hence the designation of this sauce. In other words, only use the recommended serving size or, if you know that you can tolerate fructans well, try a larger amount. We like it as a compote served alongside goat cheese spread on low FODMAP bread, or on pancakes or waffles.

We love 100% pure maple syrup on our pancakes and waffles, but sometimes we want something a little different. This combo is easy to make and combines blueberries with maple syrup for a vividly colored sauce that the whole family will enjoy. You can make this with fresh or frozen blueberries, so you can enjoy it at any time of year. Try it on sponge cake, pound cake or ice cream, too. Get the recipe for Maple Blueberry Compote.

Blueberries and peaches go beautifully together and here they are nestled in a slightly sweet cristata crust. Easier to make them a pie or a formal tart, you simply roll out a disc of pastry dough and fold the edges up over the fresh fruit. Get the recipe for Peach Blueberry Crostata.

Blueberries and lime have a natural affinity. The color of the drink will depend on your blueberries, and we have seen it end up ranging from magenta to purple. It is always pretty – and very tasty. You can even double the batch and it will keep in the fridge for a few days. This is as thirst quenching as it gets. Get the recipe for Blueberry Limeade.
