One of the easiest ways to include seasonal fruits and nuts to my children’s diet in their growing up years was to make them drink smoothies and shakes. And to my surprise although they did not relish fruits and nuts on a daily basis, these nutritious drinks became their all time favourite. Come January and the market gets flooded with the bright red coloured sweet and tart flavoured strawberry. Since it’s Loaded with health benefits I try my level best to feed my boys with the fresh seasonal strawberry and this is the easiest way to do so.
