Blueberries should be falling off your bushes now–right? I took a walk out in the woods behind my house the other day ( OK I was looking for my dog which had managed to run off while I was staring at my pumpkin plant) and there were still so many blueberries on the bushes! I was thrilled that we could have another go with more blueberry recipes from the fresh wild fruits. Of course my excitement wore off when I was walking back to my house and was stung by a bee–but my dog had arrived back home before me so it was a mix of emotions–mostly burning pain.
This recipe brings blueberries outside of the box and into a new light. My kids really enjoyed the dip with the fruit–my pickiest eater even loved it. Blending things like yogurt which has fantastic properties for balancing digestion, blueberries which are flooded with antioxidants, and avocado which is such a good source of heart disease prevention was a delicious reward.
