Strawberries and Cream

Strawberries

 

Thank goodness for Wimbledon – I may not be a die hard tennis fan (I never really got over Bjorn Borg’s retirement  ..!) but I love the tradition and excitement which builds up around the event and of course bring on the strawberries. A luxury we really can feel good about indulging in – a small bowl (150g) only contains about 45 Kcals and they are an excellent source of Vitamin C – a massive 82 mg – more than your total daily requirement!

 

Technically strawberries are not actually a fruit but are classified as a “false fruit” but a portion does count as one of your five portions fruit and vegetable per day – so enjoy!

 

I love them on their own or mixed with other summer berries but if you have to have them the traditional way with cream – you may need to think about those extra calories..!.
