Why don’t we snack more on fruit? (Part 2)
July 24th, 2008 by XinaIn part one of this post, we looked at some of the reasons I didn’t find snacking on fruit quite as convenient as I would have liked. In part two we’re going to look at some ways to make snacking on fruit a simple and regular feature in our daily diet. I’m going to take you through a typical fruit infused day…
- Add chopped fruit to cereal
- Have a morning smoothie with your breakfast or as a breakfast alternative
- If you’re a sedentary worker, have your fruit snack mid-morning just before your rest-room break so that you can wash your hands and reapply make-up (if necessary)
- Have some fruit as your lunch time starter – it should wet your appetite and get you ready for the main lunchtime meal
- Have some fruit when you arrive home from work. I wash some fruit and hand it to my son when he comes from school, so he eats it now without thinking about it
- Have a smoothie after you’ve come home from work
- Have some fruit as a dinner time starter/appetiser
- Have some fruit for dessert
A very fruity apple!
A fantastic fruit dessert we love here consists of a bowl each of chopped fruit (about half and apple and half a pear in each bowl) with 2 tablespoons of yoghurt mixed with 1 tablespoon of honey to each bowl – yum!!!
Fresh fruits are fantastic for skin and hair care. They are packed full of nutrients and vitamins and are rich in anti-oxidants which helps combat free radicals – great for anti-ageing.
Happy snacking!!!
