Carole invited us to share Ten Ways to Enjoy Strawberries. Here goes:
1. Warm, in the sun, as they are being picked.
2. Sliced over cereal for breakfast.
3. Spinach strawberry salad. A former co-worker gave me this recipe circa 2002; it is sooo good.
4. Sliced over low-fat Greek yogurt with a tiny drizzle of honey.
5. Cut up into a fruit salad with other ripe berries (see above).
6. Blended into a smoothie. Lately I’ve been having spinach, strawberry, banana, almond milk smoothies for lunch. Tasty!
7. Dipped in chocolate. The big strawbs from the grocery store are better for this than the native ones.
8. Freezer jam. Opening a jar of this jam in December or January makes spring rush back, at least for a moment.
9. Over frozen yogurt or ice cream.
10. Out of a big ol’ bowl, just plain.
What’s your favorite way to enjoy strawberries?
Your smoothie sounds so delicious!
In a tart, combine lemon curd and mascarpone cheese and spread it on the bottom of the crust, slice strawberries and lay on top. Yum!
I don’t make many smoothies. I’ll have to try your recipe – sounds good!
When I was a kid I always had strawberry ice cream. The other kids thought I was crazy as they thought chocolate was the best.
They must be room temp for me to eat them. OTherwise they hurt my teeth.
I love them in whip cream filling in cake…
