wwcitizenThe exciting part of this article is that we eat strawberries almost every day!
SAVE YOUR TICKER WITH THIS KITCHEN TOOL
Strawberries may save your life, and your blender will help you get 'em this winter.
Smoothies
The tasty news: Eat more strawberries, and you'll protect yourself from heart disease.
It's true. A new study finds that those little red finger-stainers may help lower blood vessel inflammation more than other fruits and veggies. And participants who reported consuming more scarlet berries enjoyed more of the benefit.
The bad news? Strawberries aren't in season.
Not to worry: Winter means frozen berries, and frozen berries mean smoothies, one of our favorite ways to get loads of nutrients from an 8-ounce glass — they're you're best bet for packing protein, multiple servings of fruit, yogurt, and whatever else you toss in for a relatively small caloric tally. (Oh, and we get to turn stuff into goo, too.) And with our brand-new Smoothie Selector tool, we've put all our favorite blendables in one place.
Just pick the time of day you want to puree — breakfast, pre-workout, or post-workout — and the selector spits our more recipes than your Oster will be able to handle. There are even dessert options to boost your memory and help your heart while you cure your sweet tooth.
Speaking of dessert, if you decide to get your heart-saving strawberries mixed into something from Baskin-Robbins, check out our Eat This, Not That tool to make ice cream choices that won't turn your gut into a ticking time bomb of its own.
