June is prime strawberry month. Strawberries are one the first fruits to ripen in the early summer months. While advances in technology have allowed for growers to refrigerate and transport this fruit throughout all of the seasons, there is nothing better than the fresh scent and taste of locally grown strawberries.
Strawberries are highly nutritious, loaded with vitamin C and folate and potassium as well as powerful antioxidants which have heart healthy benefits. This rich fruit is naturally high in fiber and low in sugar which is a huge benefit for those of us who have a sweet tooth as well as for those who may be diabetic.
As I was going through my daily emails I came across a recipe that I can not wait to make for lunch or a simple dinner. It has so many delicious and fresh ingredients that I have to share with you! It is grilled chicken over spinach salad with delicious strawberries and avocado! And you can always substitute grilled shrimp or tofu if you prefer! For the recipe click here.
Wishing you a happy and healthy and safe week!
