It's a sweet sight this time of year when berries start showing up in farmers' market booths! We love them all: blackberries, strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries to name a few. Here at Eat Local, we have been enjoying berries in many forms:
In smoothies: check out these great recipes- Peach & Berry Smoothie and Strawberry Orange Smoothie.
Also, stop by the Roseville Farmers' Market on June 24th and the DeWitt Farmers' Market on June 25th for a ride on the smoothie bike and a taste of Peach & Berry Smoothie! We'll be handing out smoothie samples at the Roseville Market from 9am-11am and at the DeWitt Market from 10:30am-12:30pm on those days.
In icecream: Chef Courtney McDonald treated the attendees of the Placer Community Picnic (held last Thursday) to a delicious lavender and strawberry ice cream! Yum!
In salads: Try adding berries to your favorite fruit salad recipe. We also like berries on top of green salads like this Spring Salad with Fresh Fruit and Nuts.
Fresh: Stop by the Eat Local booth at the Auburn Farmers' Market this Saturday, June 7th from 8:30am-10:30am. We will be handing out samples of local fruit (including berries)!
