My husband is literally in love with our Blendtec; if he doesn’t use it at least twice a day, it is because we are out of town! And let’s be honest, he tries to convince me to pack it up on those vacations and take it with us… I am NOT kidding.
Today while making lunch, I realized we had some strawberries that we needed to use stat or would need to throw away! So my blender-loving husband threw these healthy fresh strawberry smoothies together! It is definitely the well fitted way to use up those strawberries that have a shorter life span left!

While we were at Costco, the shake guy was adding the whole strawberry to his shakes. Apparently the strawberry greens are good for you… So, I did a little searching and found this.
** Strawberry leaves are also of value! These can be taken as a tea or in capsule form (do not take if you have a strawberry allergy). The leaves can be used to help balance the acids in your digestive tract and are a good digestive tonic. Strawberry leaves can also help to prevent anemia and help with aches and pains of arthritis. They are rich in vitamins and minerals.
