Oh, I will definitely try this. I love blueberries.. It's food for the eyes and it's said t help burn fat too.. A real superfood.

If you think about it, this recipe is high in calories. 156 calories in 1/2 cup? That's a lot.

I agree. If you want to save on calories, just eat one cup of fresh blueberries.. Or just mix use yogurt and skip the cream cheese
