Mixed Strawberry, Grape, Blackberry, Tomato Calories

No. Grapes can be toxic to dogs and may cause serious kidney injury, so do not offer them this mixture. If your dog has eaten grapes, contact a veterinarian promptly rather than waiting for symptoms.

Yes, ripe tomatoes can work in a sweet-and-savory salad with these fruits. Add fresh basil and a little citrus or vinegar, and combine the ingredients shortly before serving so the berries keep their shape.

Keep the unwashed produce dry in the refrigerator, ideally in a container that allows some airflow. Remove any bruised pieces, and refrigerate cut or already-mixed portions promptly because they soften and release juice sooner.

Yes, but the berries and tomatoes will be softer after thawing. Freeze the ingredients separately on a tray first, then transfer them to containers; use thawed portions in smoothies, sauces, or cooked dishes.

Rinse each ingredient under cool running water just before eating, without soap or detergent. Handle the berries gently, since they bruise easily, and pat everything dry with a clean towel to limit sogginess.

Yes, though the tomato gives the smoothie a less sweet, more savory taste. Blend the washed ingredients with plain yogurt or water, and taste before adding anything; a little citrus or mint can complement the combination.

Yes, the skins and seeds are edible, so there is no need to peel or deseed these ingredients. Wash them well first; remove only stems, damaged parts, or any pieces you do not enjoy.
