I’ve been going to town on this blueberry sauce.
Pouring it over oatmeal, spreading it on waffles, mixing it up with plain yogurt.
It started with my son spotting the Greek blueberry yogurt my husband squirrels away in our fridge (grrr!).
Instead of giving my preschooler the four teaspoons of sugar with “natural flavors”(which can be a blend of a dozen different chemicals), I told him I’d make him something better.
Enter the no-added-sugar Blueberry Sauce!
You can always find a bag of organic blueberries in my freezer, simply because they rock.
They’re packed with antioxidants, fiber, magnesium and have anti-inflammatory properties.
They even help you get glowing skin!
Even more, they have a low glycemic index, which means it won’t spike your blood sugar and leave you feeling like a slug an hour later.
But most important, they're freaking delicious!
Blueberry Sauce (No added sugar)
Ingredients:
1 cup frozen blueberries
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Bring to a low boil in a small saucepan for 5-6 minutes. While boiling, Mash with fork or get fancy and use an immersion blender when done. Don't over cook or it won't have enough liquid.
Serve over pancakes, oatmeal or cool and eat with plain yogurt or frozen desserts.
Keep in airtight container in fridge.
