Strawberries are rich in vitamin C and E, and beta-carotene, all a powerful skin protective antioxidant that reduces sun damage, wrinkles, and dry skin. Just the "medicine" for a sunny summer and taste great with some of these suggestions to enjoy organic*
- Drizzle fresh strawberries with balsamic vinegar, sprinkle with minced basil, and top with dollop of organic (dairy-free) yogurt.
- Drip strawberries in melted extras-dark chocolate.
- Sliced strawberries to a salad of mixed organic lettuce and spinach, top with organic pine nuts.
- Blend in a food processor: 2 organic kiwi with the skin (vitamins are between the skin and the fruit), strawberries, (dairy-free) plain yogurt, organic honey, and 1/2 cup (120 ml) (dairy-free) milk.
- Strawberry Salsa: organic: avocados and lime juice, strawberries, chopped cilantro or parsley, minced onions, diced organic mango, diced jalapeño or green chiles.
*BEWARE: Environmental Working Group (EWG) found that strawberries have the highest pesticide load of any fruit or vegetable, pays to choose organic!
