California Strawberry Caprese

/

When California Strawberries asked me to help share the message around their Get Snacking Challenge, the answer was an easy yes. Strawberries are an excellent source of Vitamin C. Just one serving, about eight strawberries, provides more vitamin C than an orange. Due to their high-fibre content, strawberries support healthy digestion and keep you feeling satiated. Thank goodness my kids love them as they are an easy snack for us to enjoy on the go with no waste. Parenting win!

California Strawberries are in peak season and readily available right now. Get yourself a carton and enter the Get Snacking Challenge to win some pretty awesome prizes.
