Strawberry syrup
We have a garden full of strawberry plants and during the summer there is more fruit than we can eat. So that the we don’t end up with with a mountain of rotting fruit we have been taking the strawberries and creating all manor of strawberry goodness.
As part of my very active lifestyle I often have a protein shake following exercise, normally I just have milk and plain protein powder. I thought to mix things up a little that I would make use of the strawberries before they spoil, by creating a strawberry syrup to flavour my protein shakes.
