Blend Up One of These Strawberry Smoothies for a Major Vitamin C Boost

Don't strawberries just remind you of warm summer days? The juicy red berries aren't just a delicious, low-calorie snack; they're also a vitamin C powerhouse, providing 143 percent of your recommended daily value in just one serving. Strawberries are also a significant source of manganese, which helps keep blood sugar stable, and fiber, which helps you feel full longer. While there are a lot of perks to including more strawberries in your diet, the Environmental Working Group has found strawberries are more likely to be ridden with pesticides than any other produce, so consider purchasing organic varieties.
