Produce of the Month

March in Australia brings the peak of strawberry season, and these ruby-red berries are more than just a sweet treat—they’re a nutritional powerhouse. Strawberries are packed with antioxidants that help protect your cells from damage and are an excellent source of vitamin C, supporting your immune system and collagen production. They also provide fibre to support gut health and a range of minerals like manganese and folate.

A 100g serving of strawberries (about 8 medium berries) provides around 59% of your daily vitamin C needs, helping your body make collagen for healthy skin, tendons, and ligaments. The natural fibre in strawberries supports your gut microbiome, while their natural sugars give a gentle boost of energy—perfect for a snack or pre-workout fuel.

• Strawberry-Corn Thins Snack:
  • 4 Corn Thins slices (28g)
  • 8 sliced strawberries (about 100g)
  • Optional: a teaspoon of nut butter or Greek yoghurt for extra protein and creaminess

This combination gives you a balanced mix of carbohydrates, fibre, and micronutrients to fuel your day or support your post-exercise recovery.
