Did you know there was a National Pick Strawberries Day?! Yep, it was just the other day this year. While the berries aren’t quite ripe enough for picking yet here in MA, I can’t wait until they are so I can grab some local ones to whip up some healthy strawberry recipes. They just taste so delish when you pick them straight from the farm! {Plus, ya gotta love snacking on them out in the field.}
I use strawberries like most of us probably do – to snack on, in smoothies, or in strawberry based desserts like a pie or strawberry shortcake. But I wanted to find other healthy strawberry recipes (or at least some better-for-you versions of strawberry desserts) so when I come home with an abundance of strawberries after picking them next month, I’ll have some new ways to use ‘em up!
I reached out to fellow dietitians to bring you this roundup of supreme strawberry recipes to tantalize those taste buds. From breakfast to smoothies to entrees and desserts, there’s sure to be something that you can enjoy!
