Daily Fit Tip: 'Tis the season ... for strawberries
Categories: Daily Fit Tip
Something wonderful happened a couple of weeks ago at my supermarket: Fresh, ripe strawberries started appearing on the shelves, and my fridge has been full of them ever since. That's right -- it's strawberry season. I'm crazy about berries of all kinds, and strawberries are my favourite. Thankfully, my body loves them too -- they're low in calories and high in nutrients and antioxidants.
Me, I eat my strawberries au naturel -- I slice them, put them in a small Tupperware container, tote them with me to the office and munch on them all day long. But if this doesn't float your boat, here are some other ways to enjoy them:

- Add them to your morning cereal
- Throw a handful in a protein smoothie
- Stir some into a bowl of plain yogurt, and add just a little bit of honey for sweetness -- and some granola too if you like.
- Throw some in your salad
- Slice and serve with some fine cheeses
- Entertaining? Top slices of angel food cake with them -- and maybe a bit of whipped cream if you're feeling indulgent

My boys - ages 2 and 4 - both LOVE strawberries. We buy them all the time, it's just a matter of how MUCH we buy - when they are in season we buy more, obviously. Generally we, too, just cut off the tops and eat them plain. They are so yummy they're hard to stop eating.
I also love them with a banana in yogurt or in smoothies, but somehow it always seems a waste to me to put them in something else, rather than just enjoy them as they are!
