Blueberries: Blueberries are a low-calorie source of fiber and vitamin C, and may also improve short-term memory and promote healthy aging.

Apples: Apples are an excellent source of pectin, a soluble fiber that can lower blood cholesterol and glucose levels. Fresh apples are also good sources of vitamin C — an antioxidant that protects your body’s cells from damage.

Baby carrots: Very low in saturated fat and cholesterol, and a good source of Vitamins A, B6, C and K, folate, iron, potassium and manganese.
