Like peanut butter-and-jelly, spaghetti-and-meat balls, oatmeal and blueberries are a natural winning combination. Fresh or frozen, blueberries pack benefits such as boosting heart health and lowering the risk of cancer and diabetes. Pair blueberries with oatmeal and your health and heart will thank you.
