June brings summer’s sweetest chapter: strawberry season! 🍓Strawberries are the WIC-approved food of the month!

Strawberries are filled with antioxidants and vitamins, including vitamin C, which helps support your immune system! These berries can also improve both heart health and blood sugar, making them a great healthy snack. 🫶 Strawberries are also super versatile—try including them in smoothies, salads, desserts, or homemade jams!



¡Junio trae el capítulo más dulce del verano: la temporada de fresas! 🍓 ¡Las fresas son el alimento del mes aprobado por el WIC!

¡Las fresas están llenas de antioxidantes y vitaminas, como la vitamina C, que ayudan a fortalecer su sistema inmunológico! Estas bayas también pueden mejorar la salud cardíaca y los niveles de azúcar en sangre, lo que las convierte en un excelente refrigerio saludable. 🫶 Las fresas también son muy versátiles: ¡pruebe incluirlas en batidos, ensaladas, postres o mermeladas caseras!
