Research supports that all you need is a serving of 8 strawberries a day to improve your health?! That's so Make Healthy Easy, especially this time of year when strawberries are everywhere and so affordable. I also love that strawberries are low in sugar (only 7 grams per cup) but taste perfectly sweet. Sweet tooth folks around the world rejoice!! (me)
