Even though fruit seasons get blurry because you can find whatever fruit you are looking for all the time, if there was a quintessential summer fruit, in my mind it would be strawberries. I have fond memories of spending hot summer afternoons picking strawberries and bringing home flats of the delightfully juicy (non-organic) berries. We would eat them plain, probably until our fingers were stained pink or with yogurt and granola, which was my absolute favorite. So in honor of summer strawberries, I’ve got a totally delicious, totally healthy strawberry recipe for you.

If I tell you that you can have strawberry shortcake for breakfast will you kind of love me?

I won’t pretend that this strawberry shortcake tastes exactly like the typical strawberry shortcake, but I’m also not going to pretend that the typical strawberry shortcake has almost 30 grams of protein, 9 grams of fiber and is essentially low-carb.
