HEALTH & BENEFITS

Mixed berries are a good source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, which are important for maintaining overall health.
Specifically, they are high in vitamin C, which helps boost the immune system and protect against disease. Berries have also been linked to reducing inflammation and improving heart health.
Light sour cream is a lower-fat alternative to regular sour cream, which may help reduce calorie consumption without sacrificing taste.
