Fruit...try and add a piece of fruit to your day! It makes a nice snacke, addition to salad or dinner even depending on how you work it. Peaches or apples with pork chops, orange chicken or beef and rice...you get the idea.
YOU can even make fruit with a healhty dessert...slice apple heat up and add some granola on top or sliced grapefruit and tangerine with a marchino cherry on top sprinkle of giner!

Fruit have many vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and fiber. How can you lose?!

Peace,
WW
PS. I am having peaches in my oatmeal.

    I add fruit to my vegetable juices. For today in honor of your fruit post, I will have a freshly juiced fruit breakfast drink (with a bit of kale and carrots tho). Apples pears and kiwis!

    On the high fiber food program I'm on I have to have 4 fruits and 4 veggies a day, I had apples in my oatmeal, an apple for a morning snack and I have another for afternoon if I need it and since strawberries are coming in season here in Florida, I have strawberries and vanilla greek yogurt for "dessert."

    I took some apples the other day, cut them up, sprinkled them with lemon juice and cinnamon and dehydrated them. I and my kids love them.
    I also dehydrated some strawberries, but the apples have been a big hit.

    I'm new to this group but, like the idea of a challenge a day. This afternoon I has a banana on some cranberry bread with peanut butter.

    Yay, I did this without even knowing. I have eaten an apple and a clementine. Soon I will be sinking me teeth into roasted chicken. Oh my goodness am I hungry.

    I have to take a pill right before bed that says to take with food. I bought a bag of clementines and enjoy one every night. Not too filling and lots less calories than other options.

    I enjoyed a berry & banana smoothie this morning (with spinach, too!). :smile:

    I plan (ha, WW!) to have a smoothie every morning this week.

    Grapefruit are in season! I've been enjoying a ruby red most days for a couple of weeks.

    I bought grapes yesterday and they are so so yummy! This will be a pretty easy challenge until those are gone!

    I love this challenge! I try to add fruit into my day as often as possible, but sometimes it gets boring eating the same things all the time. I'm always looking for new kinds of fruit as well as new ways to add them into my diet. :)

    I eat an apple Monday through Friday as late afternoon snack. Also have pineapple in my cottage cheese, and either blueberry, raspberry or strawberry yogurt. Love fruit.

    I make a salsa with mango, tomato, avocado, olives, black beans, red onion, jalapenos, and lemon and lime juice. It's great with baked tostitos scoops - or celery sticks if you are staying away from chips and carbs!
