Last weekend we went strawberry picking with the girls. In addition to being a great nature lesson, about the source of our food, it inspired me to look up fresh summer recipes utilizing this in-season delicacy. That’s where I came across the idea for this strawberry soup.
We love serving strawberries to our girls. This fruit provides guilt-free goodness. Strawberries are packed with vitamin C and are also high in fiber, folate, potassium and antioxidants. Unadorned, these berries have only 55 calories per one cup serving.

If you can’t pick them fresh, try to source them locally. The flavor will be zippier and it’s better for your local economy and the environment. Here’s an easy recipe to enjoy fresh berries this weekend.

Chilled Strawberry Ingredients
This is a simple recipe that requires just a few healthy ingredients.
- 1 1/2 pounds fresh strawberries
- 1 1/2 cups greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
Chilled Strawberry Directions
- Blend strawberries in blender until smooth. Add yogurt, orange juice, sugar and give it one more shot in the blender.

My girls love this light summer soup. It’s like having dessert at the beginning of the meal. Serve in pretty tea cups or bowls and maybe add a touch of yogurt and a bit of mint if you want to be fancy.
