One cup of halved strawberries (about 152 g) provides roughly 50 calories, 3 g of fiber, and more vitamin C than an orange, per USDA FoodData Central. Their low calorie density and natural sweetness make them a smart swap for candy or syrup-laden desserts. Use them fresh in yogurt, oatmeal, or salads. Frozen (unsweetened) works just as well.

Key facts:

  • 1 cup strawberries: ~50 kcal
  • Fiber: ~3 g
  • Very high vitamin C
  • Smart sweet swap
