Strawberry iced coffee: The refreshing morning boost you need

The strawberry season is in full swing. Market stalls are brimming with aromatic, sweet fruits in various varieties. Use them to prepare an energizing drink that will boost you in the morning.

Drinking coffee is a daily ritual. There is nothing better than a cup of warm, aromatic drink that stimulates action. Coffee can be enriched with milk, cream, syrup, chocolate, or fruit.

Fruits, both citrus and berry, go perfectly with coffee. If you want to add a twist to well-known coffee, add strawberries and blend everything into a smooth cream. You probably haven't tried it this way yet.

Coffee is one of the most popular beverages in the world. You can choose from hundreds of different varieties of beans, each differing in its degree of roasting, taste, and aroma. Coffee enthusiasts agree that "real" coffee is black, but many drink it with milk, cream, or sugar.

In cafes, coffee is often served with whipped cream and flavoured syrup. Thus, coffee ceases to be just a drink and becomes a dessert. Sweet coffee with additives is about 350 calories. If you are a fan of flavoured coffees and don't want to add more calories, try coffee with strawberries.

It may sound strange, but strawberries go perfectly with sour, slightly bitter coffee, giving it a pleasant sweetness and a refreshing, fruity note. Such a drink will put you in a great mood starting in the morning.
