Strawberries!!


You have probably seen strawberries at the supermarket and at the local farmer's market. Strawberries are in season right now which makes them affordable, widely available at most supermarkets AND sweet and juicy. Strawberries are full of Vitamin C, B Vitamins and many minerals.  They are an excellent snack and most children love their sweet taste especially when they are in season and nice and ripe.  You can add strawberries to a salad to give it a sweet taste or put it in a smoothie. Also for a fun family activity you could go to one of the pick your own strawberries in the area.
