Strawberries are succulent, sweet and nutritious. This is the understatement of the year as a nutritional analysis of strawberries revealed that these red fruits have higher levels of vitamin c, fiber, folate and potassium compared to bananas, apples and yes, even oranges! In fact, a study has shown that eating 8-10 strawberries a day can lower blood pressure and reduce some types of cancer. A serving of 8 to 10 fresh strawberries gives you the same sweeter juice as a glass of orange juice.
The natural sweetness and beautiful color of these berries is the fuel for the great Strawberry Smoothies recipes that are so very popular. The vitamins and minerals found in the fruit are fundamental for proper metabolism and healthy maintenance of tissues and cells. These wonder juices are a great source of fiber and a definite dietary boost. The strawberry smoothies recipes are tested with high fructose corn syrup and other artificial sweeteners, which if left in the fridge for an hour or two, will transform our boring, boring tea into a blossoming wonderland of delights.

Condensed strawberries are often used to bake and are fairly antioxidant-rich.
