The compounds in strawberries may reduce inflammation, reducing your risk of disease—including heart disease. Strawberries can help you manage blood sugar and may boost brain health.Almond milkis a plant-based alternative to cow’s milk. Unless it’s fortified with protein, the amount of almond milk is minimal—about 1 gram in 1 cup of almond milk compared to 8 grams in cow’s milk. Like cow’s milk, almond milk is typically fortified with vitamin D. It’s also an excellent source of vitamin E.

Frozen bananas go well with chocolate too.If you want to use fresh strawberries instead of the bagged frozen fruit you get in the grocery freezer, you’ll still have to freeze your fresh fruit.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)
- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
