Strawberries are nutrient-rich, low-calorie fruits that are high in fiber and hydrating. One half cup provides 32 calories and 2 grams of fiber. They are also rich in antioxidants, vitamins (like Vitamin C), and beneficial plant compounds that support heart, brain, and immune health. They have a low glycemic index (around 40) which prevents large blood sugar spikes. They are best eaten fresh and raw, but unsweetened frozen ones are equally nutritious. Add them to smoothies, salads, yogurt, cottage cheese, desserts and hot/cold cereals. Or try this nontraditional take on a summer classic- Caprese salad!
