It’s time to celebrate the United States’ 250th birthday! Exciting events honoring our nation’s history are being held throughout Ohio in 2026.

And for your own Independence Day festivities, here’s a refreshing patriotic dessert.

Loaded with antioxidant- and nutrient-rich strawberries and blueberries, it’s the perfect healthy frozen treat for kids and adults alike.

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Wash strawberries and blueberries. Pat dry.

2. Slice strawberries.
