Our Covenant House Vancouver
fundraising campaign motivated us to look for six fun and healthy new ways to use organic blueberries in different recipes. Blueberries not only benefit our bodies but also offer a delicious fresh taste.
Pretty parfait:
In tall glasses, layer organic blueberries with frozen vanilla yogurt and
organic cereal. Top with granola and a couple of blueberries for decoration.
Yummy add-on: Mix fresh organic blueberries into muffins, cakes, breads and waffles.
Blue smoothie: Blend a handful
of organic blueberries, half a banana and some plain yogurt
until very smooth. Drink as is, or pour over cereal or granola.
Grilled Salmon with Blueberry-Cilantro salsa: Toss together chopped onion, pepper, honey, lime juice,
blueberries, fresh cilantro, sea salt and black pepper to taste.
Mix all the other ingredients just before serving, and spoon salsa over
the grilled salmon or serve on the side.
Savoury sauce:
Sauté an onion in olive oil; add blueberries, white wine and fresh
thyme. Cook until well thickened and blueberries break down. Spoon over
grilled white fish or pork.
Chill drinks with style:
Place a few blueberries in each ice cube tray, fill with water and freeze. Drop some cubes in a glass and fill with pink lemonade
or water.

A very special thanks to everyone who has purchased
blueberries this past two and a half weeks and also placed inside their bins those unwanted pennies for the
