With Jack eating three meals a day now, I am simply modifying my meals to make them work for him instead of cooking separate meals. We have busy days so all of these meals are made in 20 mins or less and provide important nutrients – with the help of California strawberries! @castrawberries
Not only are strawberries Jack’s favourite fruit but they are versatile and nourishing as well. Just one cup of strawberries has 95% of the daily value of vitamin C for the day! California strawberries are delicious, versatile, and perfect to eat on their own or as an addition to any recipe (even for lunch or dinner). A bonus is that California strawberries are available across Canada even when local strawberries aren’t.
Below is how I modified meals for Jack and why each of these recipes work for us! Don’t forget to grab some California strawberries at your local grocery store and check out californiastrawberries.com for more recipes. #californiastrawberries
Breakfast: Strawberry Yogurt Bowl. I made Jack and I nearly identical bowls, his was a smaller portion however. The California strawberries are a great fibre boost in this yogurt bowl to start our day.
Lunch: Strawberry Feta & Avocado Toast. Jack just didn’t receive the raw onions (hard to chew) and feta cheese (higher in sodium). I love a quick and easy lunch like this one because we are often on the go in the middle of the day and this lunch is very portable for both of us!
Snack: Strawberry Spinach Chickpea Muffins. These are perfect for on the go! The strawberries add some vitamin C, which helps to absorb the iron in these muffins. Iron intake is so important for Jack right now!
Dinner: Strawberry Tofu Bowl. Jack didn’t receive the raw veggies in the bowl and instead I put quinoa, California strawberries and tofu on his plate. I added some hemp hearts to the California strawberries for an iron and protein boost as well.
