As we're dotted all over the world and time zones vary I'll put tomorrow's mini goal up now so there's no excuse for missing it! :wink:

Day 2- Feeling Fruity!! :tongue:

Today's challenge is all about getting fruity....And remembering to have your 5-a-day! But to spice things up a little I thought we could play a little game....

You must suggest a fruit for the person above you to include today - this can be any fruit you can think of but don't forget some fruits might be a little harder to get hold of than others!

Then let us know which other four fruits and/or vegetables you will be eating to give us all some inspiration! These can be canned, frozen, 100% juice, dried....Be Inventive!

I have already pre-logged my FOUR for tomorrow, they are 1) pink lady apple 2) frozen spinach 3) blueberries 4) asparagus YUM!

    alright. i'm gonna start the suggestions because i may need to pick up whatever is suggested to me today, for tomorrow.

    lottieloves85: dragonfruit!

    they are really nice and have a mellow taste so it won't feel like you are eating too many sweets. if you are unsure of dragonfruits check out a picture on google, and if you don't have them at your grocery store try: plums :)

    Watermelon is really good right now. Blackberries and strawberries were on sale. Sometimes the price dictates the fruit I choose. I've been grilling vegi's all summer. Cut up one yellow and one zuchinii, red onion, bell pepper, red potatoes; toss in olive oil and emerill seasoning and grill in a gill pan for about 15 minutes. Delicious!!!

    for saun5870: fresh apricots (if none available go for kiwifruit)


    You wanted to know what my 5 fruits and vegetables will be for tomorrow, but I figure I'll wait to tell that part until after I've been assigned a fruit!
