Cranberry Fix

I make it a point to have a weekly cranberry fix.

Recent scientific research shows that cranberries and cranberry products contain significant amounts of antioxidants and other phytonutrients that may help protect against urinary disease, heart disease, cancer and other diseases.

Cranberries are available in a wide variety of forms including fresh fruit, juice, sauce, and dried. Juices, sauce and dried fruit are available year-round at your nearest supermarket. Fresh fruit is generally available from September to December.

My cranberry fixation sees me at the Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf almost every Saturday morning. Its cranberry muffin is medium size, low fat and generous with the red berries. Together with unlimited cups of coffee, my 'muffin medley' breakfast (as the folks in Coffee Bean call it) cost a mere $4.70.
