4 Fresh Strawberry Recipes
Who has been strawberry picking this spring? It is that time of year! And while fresh strawberries are delicious on their own, there are also so many fun ways to enjoy them at breakfast, dinner and for dessert! Today I have 4 fun ways to use fresh strawberries in your meals this week. And a bonus way to use frozen strawberries!
Strawberries are super nutritious. They are packed with antioxidants that do things like boost heart health and fight inflammation. They are also loaded with Vitamin C to support your immune system. Strawberries are an excellent source of fiber… which makes our guts and hearts happy. Lastly, they have a lower glycemic index than some other fruits which means less of a blood sugar spike when we eat them!
Strawberries are often sprayed with lots of pesticides and land on the EWG Dirty Dozen list every year. For 2026 they had the 3rd highest levels of pesticide residue of the fruits tested. So this is a fruit to buy organic when possible!
Now let’s get cooking and eating!
Strawberry Fields Salad with Chicken
I love this salad, It is so fresh but the chicken, potatoes and avocado mean it is shockingly filling. My kiddos love this salad too, but if your kids would be less inclined to eat a salad for dinner, just give them all the toppings on a plate! Chicken, potatoes, avocado, strawberries, cucumber.. a delicious spring dinner!
Fresh Strawberry Gluten Free Muffins
Sweet, full of strawberry flavor and moist.. your family is going to love these! My daughter called them “the best muffins ever!” My sweet friend told me it is her kids favorite muffin.
Dairy Free Double Strawberry Ice Cream
Dairy free families rejoice… Ice cream season is for you too! Even dairy lovers love this ice cream. Strawberries are the star in this creamy, coconut milk based ice cream as they are pureed in the batter and small diced pieces are added like candy too!
If you aren’t making your own ice cream in your own ice cream maker you just HAVE to start! It is the easier thing ever and such a simple way to avoid yucky ingredients. PLUS my favorite ice cream maker that I have had for years is 30% off right now! It is a bigger size that I wish I had. Get it HERE.
Gluten Free Cream Cheese Pound Cake with Fresh Strawberries
This is one of my absolute favorite desserts and the fresh berries with fresh whipped cream on top are what just take it to perfection. Our favorite is to slice fresh, spring strawberries and serve them over the cake. No extra sugar is need on juicy, ripe strawberries.. they are wonderful as is!
Our favorite ways to use frozen strawberries are in…
Green Smoothie– this is our favorite smoothie to make for hydration, a snack or as a side with some protein for lunch.
