Ground ginger provides the perfect balance for the sweet strawberries, mango and banana.

Strawberry season has finally arrived here in Michigan and I could not be more excited!! To celebrate, we visited a local farm about bought two flats (16 quarts) – one for my mother and one for us. I baked 6 pies! Just kidding. I froze most of them to use in smoothies throughout the fall and winter. :)

If you’re curious about freezing berries this summer, it is easier than you think! Follow this step-by-step guide to freezing strawberries and your freezer will be filled with deliciousness in no time. You can use the same method for raspberries, blueberries, peas and more.

What is your favorite recipe for strawberry season?? We always have big plans for creative ideas but honestly, we love eating them plain. And yes, by “plain” I also mean smashed up with a little sugar on top of a freshly baked shortcake topped with vanilla ice cream.

Happy strawberry season!
