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.
