Blueberry-Topped Rice Cakes
With fresh and frozen blueberries on hand, you can make yummy blueberry treats or pop them on morning cereal or blend in ice-cold smoothies. In the summer, when blueberries are most abundant, take home extra to keep in the freezer.

A one-cup serving of blueberries has only 80 calories and is a good source of vitamin C, manganese, fiber and antioxidants that our bodies need to stay healthy. Encouraging children to enjoy fruit can help establish a lifetime of good eating habits. The USDA recommends kids 4 to 8 years old consume 1 to 1 1/2 cups of fruit every day and blueberries contribute to that daily total. Go to www.mypyramid.gov for more information about the USDA dietary guidelines.
