Raw fruits and veggies are the perfect on-the-go treat: They’re fresh, flavorful, and easily portable, either as whole foods or sliced up in reusable containers. Here’s how to get creative with them, the best dips and dressings to accompany them, and how to make the most of their nutritional value.

Fresh strawberries are always a treat, and you can find locally grown varieties throughout the summer in most areas. Unfortunately, conventionally grown strawberries rank among the top 10 pesticide-ridden fruits and vegetables, so always choose organic. Look for berries that are red all the way to the tip, a sign that they’re fully ripe (strawberries don’t ripen after picking). One cup of sliced strawberries has 53 calories.
