One of the best ways to incorporate fresh fruits and vegetables into our diet or the diet of our senior loved ones/those in our care is by making them into a puree or smoothie drink. It's not just simple to make, it tastes delicious and is easy to consume, especially when meal time and proper nutrition are a concern.
Strawberries are still in season here in Ontario and a refreshing way to keep cool on these warm summer days and get much-needed vitamins and minerals is with this delicious strawberry smoothie!
