There are a variety of ways to incorporate more berries into your diet. Have a plate of berries as a dessert occasionally. Sprinkle berries on top of your salad. Mix berries into your punches and drinks. Enjoy a few berries as an afternoon snack. The idea is to eat them in moderation. You shouldn't eat an entire box of strawberries over an afternoon, but having a few to get those antioxidants and nutrients into you is a good, healthy idea.

Let me know if there are any other berries you'd like me to research the carb values for! I'm happy to update this list and find out the information you need. Also, remember that these numbers are general guidelines. Small, ripe strawberries might have a slightly different value than huge, unripe ones do.
