Festive Fruit Bark

Not only do berries taste great, they are also great for us. Strawberries are high in folic acid, while blackberries are ⅓ of our daily recommended fiber in just one cup. Berries are also packed with antioxidants that protect our cells from damage. Whether we are adding them to a dish, eating them whole, or making them the star of our meal, you can't go wrong with incorporating berries into your diet.
