It has been a HOT week, but raspberries can help to keep you cool. Raspberries have bunches of fiber and can help lower cholesterol. Like the other berries we have been celebrating this month, they too have anthocyanins that provide antioxidant power. This week we have cold recipes for snacks that will help you keep healthy and chilled while the weather is warm.
