Blueberry Nutrition Benefits
Blueberries are an excellent source of dietary fibre, with one cup providing 3.6 grams (14% of your daily needs).
They’re also a great source of micronutrients, like:
- vitamin C
- vitamin K
- vitamin B6
- manganese
Blueberries are also rich in antioxidants called anthocyanins, which provide many protective health benefits.
Ricotta Nutrition Benefits
Ricotta cheese is a great source of complete protein – a 1/2-cup serving provides about 12 grams.
That same 1/2-cup serving also provides about 20% of your daily calcium intake.
Ricotta also contains smaller amounts of other micronutrients, like:
- vitamin B12
- vitamin B6
- magnesium
- iron
- potassium
