Keith and I share a true taste for adventure. No, we are not scaling mountains, jumping out of planes, or hiking through uninhabited rain forests. Our adventures together began at little-known restaurants in the East Village, sampling flavor combinations that only cosmopolitan chefs would attempt. We peruse menus, looking for that special something, seeking out inspiring flavor profiles, and searching for that special dish that makes our hearts beat fast. Our journeys have led us to cities big and small, to food trucks, street vendors, and hole-in-the wall joints where recipes have been passed down through generations. Together we have discovered food artistry, and our journey has just begun.We are always looking for ideas that highlight natural, organic ingredients, ones that make food that is good for you, taste good and nourish your body. With the help of Nature’s Touch Frozen Foods and Shoprite, we have come up with a Blueberry Swirl Energy Cup that does these things. We focused on one of my favorite “super foods”: the blueberry. Packed with vitamin C and antioxidants, blueberries are a great base for a nutrient-rich snack. But sometimes, in the off-season, they are not as easy to come by (or as plump and flavorful as we would like them to be). Nature’s Touch has us covered.  Their Organic Wild Blueberries and Pesticide-Free Wild Blueberries are sourced ethically and harvested at the peak of flavor. They are ready to be used all year long.We think these Blueberry Swirl Energy Cups are ideal for an active lifestyle. They are super easy to make, and they keep well for a few days so that you can grab one and go… for breakfast or for a nutrient-packed afternoon snack. Unlike sugar-filled traditional blueberry muffins, these Energy Cups are made with rolled oats, whole wheat flour and bananas. There is no dairy, and just a touch of sugar.  They are more like an energy bar than a muffin—a breakfast full of fiber and protein that will keep you satisfied in between meals. Inspired by healthy breakfast treats at some of our favorite eco-friendly coffee shops, these Blueberry Swirl Energy Cups represent our effort to find creative ways of eating healthy. Even if we can’t do it every day, we think this is a good start.Nature’s Touch has more great frozen fruit options, picked and packed at the peak of freshness. Try some of our other favorites: Organic Mangoes and Pesticide-Free Three Berry Mix.
