HEALTH BENEFITS & FUN FACTS
Strawberries are the most popular berry in the world for good reason! They are juicy, sweet, fragrant, easy to eat, and they look like little hearts. Wild strawberries have grown for millennia: The ancient Romans enjoyed them, and during the Middle Ages people valued them for medicinal and dietary reasons.
Strawberries are a source of various phytonutrients. The anthocyanins are potent antioxidants that help protect the body’s organs against cell damage. The combination of high vitamin C content and phytonutrients makes strawberries a good choice for preventing and fighting bacterial, viral, and fungal infections such as colds, flu, and ear infections. Strawberries are also a great source of fiber!
Very good!

The consistency was perfect. My smoothies usually come out more like juices. :-/
Awesome Aaron!! Yes sometimes a good recipe is helpful – we all had blending pains. 😉
Great recipe. Thought it was a little sour. but ive always thought strawberries were sour. I just added a little sugar and everybody loves it. thanks for the recipe.
Thanks Scott! Yes if fruit isn't ripe enough we often add a touch of natural sweetener such as dates, raw honey, or stevia. We do recommend not using white sugar, but less processed versions such as raw sugar or coconut palm sugar. Thanks for the comment and welcome to our Blender Babes community! 🙂 CHEERS!
