3 Berry-Packed Recipes That Are Good for You

           

      In case you didn’t know, berries are the best! Not only are they delicious, but these little guys also pack a huge nutritional punch. Full of antioxidants and vitamins, they're low in calories and are super healthy. They're even good for your looks! And because of their filling fiber, they’re ideal for anyone who always feels hungry. I’m Hungry Girl, Lisa Lillien, and I’ve got three berry packed recipes to get you going.

This snack is a dessert spin on a PB&J. It's easy as can be to whip up—only three ingredients, and it's ready in 10 minutes! Be warned: You may want to double (or triple) the recipe so you don't have to share.

1. In a medium bowl, combine 1/4 cup powdered peanut butter with 2 tablespoons water. Mix until smooth, uniform, thick, and creamy. If needed, mix in water in 1 teaspoon increments.

2. Slice the stem ends off 6 strawberries, 1/2 inch below the stem, revealing an opening in each berry. Use a narrow spoon to remove about half of the flesh inside the berry, making room for the filling.

3. Spoon the PB mixture into the bottom corner of a plastic bag, snip off the tip of that corner to create a small hole, and pipe the mixture through the hole into the strawberries.
