A Basketload of Ways to Enjoy Strawberries By Gabriel Adams

Don’t you just love strawberries? They are so succulent and bittersweet. And they compliment so many foods, snacks and deserts. And yes, especially deserts!

One of the first things you think of when it comes to strawberries is strawberry shortcake! Nowadays, you can buy the little cakes at the store in a package. Simply slice up the strawberries in some simple syrup (sugar and water), put them on the cakes, and put on some whipped cream topping! You’re good to go, and wow is it delish!

Strawberries are a great topping for any cake, basically, but especially angel food cake! Angel food cake is light and fluffy and has a unique texture unlike any other cake. And yes, this red, juicy fruit goes just as well with this kind of cake as it does with shortcake!

What about ice cream? You can get low-fat ice cream or frozen yogurt and top it with strawberries! You don’t have to mix the fruit with syrup this time, either, since the ice cream gives you the sweet flavor to balance out the sour in the strawberry. If you do want some liquid to cover the ice cream, you can mash up some strawberries in water (without sugar), for a healthy syrup! Tastes just as good—without the extra carbs and calories!

How about a good old strawberry pie? There are many ways to make strawberry pie, but one way is to buy strawberry pie filling, combine it with freshly sliced strawberries, and put it in a pre-made graham cracker crust (or a regular pie crust)! Yummy! Of course, you MUST serve it with whipped cream topping or ice cream (or both, if you’re really feeling adventurous!). Take it easy, too—this particular choice is high calorie!

Strawberries are great with sundaes. You can put them in with your favorite sundae toppings, like nuts, bananas, chocolate syrup, and so on!

And of course, everyone loves strawberry cheesecake! This is really easy to make! All you have to do it buy a cheesecake kit from the store and make it in a pie tin. No baking is required, although, you do have to put it in the fridge so it can set. When you serve it with strawberries (mixed in simple syrup) and whipped cream (optional), it is simply “to die for”! Might be a little rough on the waistline—oh, but what a way to go!

Strawberries are also a must in fruit salad. Combine them either whole or sliced with your favorite fruits. This can include pineapple, sliced apple, mandarin oranges, banana slices, grapes, or any other fruit you can think of! This too, tastes absolutely stunning with whipped cream. Walnuts really go well with this treat, as well!

I bet you could go for some parfait in the morning, or for a mid-day snack! Strawberries are a must, here, too! Take low fat yogurt and throw in your favorite fruits, sliced up. Then top it with granola and we’re talking healthy, mouth-watering goodness! This is a good alternative to having the ice cream or other deserts, too, since it’s easier to incorporate into your diet!

Strawberries and other fruits are also great with fondue, but watch it—that chocolate can be pretty high cal! And remember, fruit has carbs of its own! So always moderate with sweets!

Enjoy all of your favorite snacks and deserts, and don’t forget the strawberries!
