Homemade Strawberry Fruit Leather
You don’t need a dehydrator to make these healthy alternatives to sugary roll-ups. We’re fond of the strawberry lemon combination, but you can experiment with other fruits and flavors. For this version of strawberry fruit leather, simply add strawberries, honey, and lemon zest to a blender and bake in the oven.
