Berry Dessert

Such a sweet finish to a summer supper!
Fresh mixed berries are in season!  All the berries, with their bright blue and red colors are full of antioxidants, phytochemicals, vitamins, and fiber.  Purchase berries that are grown locally and organic if possible. 

Calorie counts vary with the berry - blackberries may have 70 calories per cup, but strawberries only have about 45.  The dessert above has about 90 calories and over 3 grams of fiber.    It consists of one cup of mixed berries topped with 2 tablespoons of sweet organic yogurt.  You may sprinkle some almond slices on top or even shaved chocolate.
