5 Ways to Make the Most of Strawberries in their Peak Season

We're in the height of berry season. So many berries are sweet and juicy right now, including strawberries. Not only are strawberries a healthy option for your sweet tooth, but United Supermarkets' Corporate Dietician Brenda Garcia told us they also help whiten your teeth! They are a great source of Vitamin C, and with about 65 calories in a one-cup serving, they are a guilt-free snack.

You'll find them right in the middle of United Supermarkets' Berry Patch, and here are some of our favorite ideas for incorporating tasty strawberries into your meal plans:

1) Strawberry Watermelon Basil Salad: This just tastes like summer.

2) Fruit-Infused Water: Who would have thought to pair strawberries with cucumber, citrus, and green tea?

3) Quinoa Breakfast Bowl: This recipe even looks a little patriotic...

4) Fruit Bruschetta: Mix those strawberries with blackberries and blueberries.

5) Sweet and Savory Salsa: An unusual take on a favorite snack staple.

Of course, there's nothing wrong with eating strawberries plain, either! All these recipes came from Happy + Nourished, a blog by Garcia and her team. To ensure you don't miss out on any great tips them, scroll down to the bottom of the Happy + Nourished website and sign up for their newsletter.
