Strawberries

This classic summertime fruit helps your body work well year-round. Strawberries pack a flavorful low-calorie punch to help burn fat, widen arteries, and prevent plaque build-up. Did you know that there is a healthy form of cholesterol, known as HDL? Strawberries are loaded with HDL cholesterol. Then there are plenty of special antioxidants in strawberries, called polyphenols. Strawberries are a sweet treat that are free of cholesterol, sodium, and fat. Blend the little red fellows with some oat milk for an incredible replacement of unhealthy milkshakes.

Sweet Potato

Despite many grocery stores not knowing the difference between a sweet potato and a yam, this versatile potato can round out a ton of dishes! (Hint: chain grocery stores tend to label sweet potatoes as yams!) A true sweet potato will be backed with potassium and can help regulate your heartbeat and lower blood pressure. Sweet potatoes can be chopped into french fries for a healthier alternative to the potato version for your next cheat meal.
