John So today’s tip of the day is… Now I’m looking at these, I’m thinking what we paid is too much, but I’m not sure what the cost was on these, because there’s a million different versions of this product. And you’re going to have to try different ones to see which ones you like. But I’m telling you, the best snack I’ve run into in the last decade: freeze-dried blueberries.

These things are unbelievable. They taste like they have the quality of Corn Pops. So they’re just crunchy, and you just can’t eat enough of them. In fact, the bag that I got from Trader Joe’s — and you can get these at Trader Joe’s, and Trader Joe’s is in 43 of the 52 states — so you can go get them there. But also if you go to Amazon there’s about 30 vendors of these things, and there’s all different kinds of freeze-dried fruit.

Adam What is the sugar content per serving?

John It’s pretty low.

Adam Really?

John Blueberries don’t have a lot of sugar anyway.

Adam They’re a good source of protein.

John It’s a good source of a lot of things, and they’re very low in sodium and low in potassium. They’re outstanding products.

Adam High antioxidant value.

John Yes, high antioxidant. But the one pack turns out to be one serving, and you had quite a few of them in here. But you can’t stop eating them. They’re worse than olives.
