Did you know that May is National Strawberry Month? Everyone
loves strawberries! So it's really not surprising that this little red, yummy fruit is being celebrated! Why not? Strawberries are *packed with vitamins, fiber, and particularly high levels of antioxidants
known as polyphenols, and are a sodium-free, fat-free,
cholesterol-free, low-calorie food. They are among the top 20 fruits in
antioxidant capacity and are a good source of manganese and potassium. Just one
serving -- about eight strawberries -- provides more vitamin C than an
orange.
So, I was thinking about how to celebrate National Strawberry Month and I came up with going strawberry picking! Picking strawberries with my kids are so much fun, and my kids love picking and eating the strawberries too!
If you want to go strawberry picking, you can find a farm near you here: http://www.pickyourown.org/strawberries.htm
And to celebrate National Strawberry Month here at Hip Mama's Place, I picked five of my favorite strawberry recipes to share with you all ... and they are all delicious and healthy!
Whole-Grain Waffles with Sliced Strawberries and Yogurt - make your own whole-grain waffles and top them off with sliced fresh strawberries and low-fat yogurt and you have yourself a delicious, healthy breakfast! Full recipe here.
Strawberry Parfaits - an easy to make and prep, no-bake yummy strawberry treat that's yumm-o any time of the day! Full recipe here.
Strawberry and Spinach Salad - this salad is a must-have in my family during the summer and Spring. My parents in-law love this salad so much they personally request this from me all the time whenever we get together for dinner at my house or theirs. For the dressing, I use balsamic vinaigrette, although the Honey Mustard is really yummy too! Full recipe here.
