Balanced snacking tips

Do you love the vibrant red colour and sweet taste of ripe strawberries? @CAstrawberries  are in peak season now and readily available throughout the year (and when local strawberries are not yet in stores!). There are so many ways to enjoy them, and my new favourite snack is topping cottage cheese with a few strawberries. You get a boost of protein and calcium from the cottage cheese and the strawberries are an excellent source of Vitamin C and a source of fibre.

California strawberries also make a terrific snack on their own. A serving of 8 strawberries (140 g) is only 50 calories.
