We’ve layered in the ingredients into a canning jar with a tight-fitting lid—perfect for stashing in your bag for breakfast, lunch, or a healthy snack.

Nutrition Tip: Blueberries are often deemed the “brain berry,” since they’re known to improve memory and protect against short-term memory loss. They are one of the most potent sources of antioxidants, which help counteract heart disease, cancers, and other types of illnesses. Blueberries are also full of fiber and high in vitamin C.
