Blueberry Spinach Kraut
This kraut that tastes like blueberries is not only delicious but the juice is incredible too. When my kids were little, they loved to drink the juice when they were sick. They loved the flavor and it worked speedily to heal and help them recover. This pairs well with sprouted tortilla chips which are becoming more popular and there are several on the market now. I am loving Unbeatable Blue Tortilla Chips.
