What I did:  I used frozen mixed berries, since I didn't have just strawberries.  Zapped them in the microwave and smashed them (the girls loved watching Mommy do this).  As with most child-friendly recipes, the girls took turns putting the ingredients in the bowl!

What would I do differently next time:  NOTHING!  I think I will stick with the mixed berries too!  DELICIOUS!
