April is here, and that means it's time to take advantage of the freshest seasonal produce! Whether you're hitting the farmers market or just looking to switch up your grocery list, knowing what's in season can help you get the best quality and flavor. Plus, buying in-season produce usually means better prices – a win-win.

Strawberries

One of the first signs that spring has truly arrived, strawberries in April are sweeter and juicier than ever. These vibrant berries are perfect for smoothies, desserts, or just popping in your mouth as a snack. You know they’re good when the smell hits you before you even reach the produce section. Pro tip: Freeze any extras for later use in smoothies.
