Blueberry Fruit Dip

Blueberries are one of my favorite Michigan crops. Every July, when the weather is warm, you can find this delicious fruit throughout the state.

For this weeks post I decided to create a twist on a vegan cream cheese… Vegan Blueberry Fruit Dip. This dip is easy to make and perfect for summer.
