    I love love love berries of any kind, especially strawberries! Since it’s summer now, I can get them cheap at my local grocery store and I think I’ve eaten them at some point during the day for the past week or two! I like them in fruit salads with other berries and banana…YUM! And of course, I love Kashi’s Strawberry Fields cereal—I have bought it recently nearly every time I need cereal!

    Didn’t get to make the recipe I wanted, but picked up some a fresh pint at the store on Wednesday and made a fruit dip and ate washed & cleaned them and had them for dessert.

    Seems we go through 2lbs every couple of days. They have been on sale and actually pretty good this time of year.

    Also new and also having the same Server not responding message. Also it says accepted for 24hours, does that mean if I can’t log my progress within 24hours the stats go down?

    I’m having dark chocolate-covered strawberries. I can’t log that I have accepted the challenge—the message says the server is not responding. Does anyone know if it is down? I am new to the site and I don’t know if I missed something.

    I eat a berry medley on my cereal every morning. It is wonderful and causes the milk to turn blue and sweet. It is so easy to enjoy tasty healthy food if we remember that frozen fruits and veggies are almost always just as good as fresh.

    In the spring, summer, and fall, I always have a bowl of cereal or some pancakes with sliced strawberries. It’s a delicious way to start my morning. If only they were available in the winter where I live…

    My boys love it when I make them waffles topped with (low-fat) vanilla yogurt and lots of strawberries for breakfast. They also love it as a desert, just use frozen yogurt.

    Don’t let the season discourage you. Frozen strawberries are frozen at the peak of freshness and ripeness – and you can eat them cold or warm them up on a cold day. They are often cheaper frozen or mixed with other berries or fruits as well. YUMMY!

    Yummy, I found this great product yesterday. Frozen food section, bag of 4 individually wrapped portions of strawberries, grapes, bananas and blueberries. I put the frozen fruit and some rice milk in my little “zip zip” food processor and got a nice “sorbet”! Was so good!

    I buy frozen organic strawberries right now since I live in Michigan. I don’t have to worry about them spoiling before I can finish them all. I mix strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries every morning with my Kashi Go Lean and Heart to Heart cereal.

    I love to make strawberry smoothies. Sometimes I mix the strawberries with bananas or other berries, and add yogurt, soy milk, and a little honey. Makes such a delicious breakfast, and if you’re always in a hurry like I am, you can take it to go!

    Unfortunately, I’m allergic to strawberries but have found that raspberries are a good substitute.

    I have strawberries at least once a week, fresh if possible. I have no problem eating frozen or dehidrated. I add them to my yogurt for breakfast. But, in the afternoon, when I want something chocolately, then I drizzle the strawberries (fresh, of course) with about a tablespoon of chocolate syrup. Yum!!!

    We love, love, love strawberries! I especially love them as an after-dinner treat; I’ll have five or six with a couple pieces of dark chocolate and a cup of warm milk with vanilla and a little sweetener. Delicious, and good for me! :)

    I eat fresh strawberries every day while they are available, I even buy them for my grandkis as a snack instead of candy or cookies.

    I live in an area known for its berries (south Louisiana) and they are available right now. I also have a few plants in pots so we can pick fresh berries for our cereal nearly every morning after spring arrives.
