In Season: Strawberries


Summer means fresh strawberries!  Sweet and juicy, strawberries provide many nutrients for our bodies: vitamin C, potassium, fiber and antioxidants which help protect the heart.

There are many ways to enjoy strawberries, but strawberry smoothies are one way I enjoy this fruit.
