You don't want to be cooking over a hot grill preparing a fat-saturated, low-nutrition breakfast for your overnight guests or family. What's the alternative? Cereal? How about baked blueberry French toast? It's low in fat, filling, quick, and full of healthy goodness.

If your guests are seeking more morning protein, compliment your meal by placing a bowl of nuts on the breakfast table and offering a glass of soy milk. This cholesterol-free meal is sure to put smiles on everyone's face.

Blueberries Are Antioxidant Rich

Blueberries are full of antioxidants. Antioxidants protect against free radicals and DNA damage. Among other things, antioxidants can help protect against skin aging and Alzheimer's, reduce inflammation, maintain sexual function, prevent the hardening of the arteries, and reduce many other health risks. Generally, the deeper-colored fruit offers greater antioxidant protection. Berries have the greatest antioxidant powers, except for certain spices.
