Loaded with Vitamin C

Heart Healthy

Strawberries are loaded with anthocyanins, which are phytonutrients that are linked to lowering the risk of heart attacks in women!

Despite Strawberries deliciously sweet taste, a serving of them only contain 7 grams of sugar – lower than apples, oranges, bananas, and grapes!

High in Fiber

Despite having 8g of carbs per serving, 2 of these grams are actually fiber, both soluble and insoluble. This helps your gut health and means that they are relatively low GI, and won’t spike your blood sugar!
