This recipe is extremely easy and so delicious - it is full of vitamins, minerals, and essential fatty acids, as well as anti-inflammatory properties. You can tone down the heat by adding a little less ginger, especially if you have kids. And since strawberries are coming into season, this is a perfect way to use them.

According to the Environmental Working Group, [when it comes to pesticide residues, non-organic strawberries are still the worst offender](https://www.ewg.org/foodnews/strawberries.php?_kx=S4eBPhGsNpQiW6phP6Eh8A.TMUrUa), so be sure to choose organically grown strawberries.
