Instructions: Adults and kids adore the wild strawberry plant, one of the most familiar and tastiest on the planet.

Simple Solution:)

The familiar red fruit, much smaller than the cultivated version, ripens in the late spring or early summer, and goes out of season two weeks later. Nothing poisonous looks like the common strawberry, but theres a similar wood strawberry, which is in season much longer, is edible and colorful, but has absolutely no flavor.

Look for the common strawberry in fields and meadows, at the edges of trails, and along borders of woods throughout the country. Here is a great berry smoothie recipe perfect for wild strawberries and blueberries.

In a blender, combine all the ingredients and process until smooth.
