The Fruits Of Your Labor

It is impossible to talk for long about healthy eating without calling to mind fruit and vegetables. These are the cornerstone of any healthy diet and are a low-preparation option for a snack on the go. What is more, there is almost infinite variety in the fruit and veg aisle at your supermarket, so there is always something new to try.

 One of the more popular options for any dieter trying to break the stranglehold that chocolate has on their diet is the banana. Bananas are an excellent snack food, especially if you have a long working day ahead of you. They are packed with potassium, which is excellent for slow release energy, meaning that you can rely on being on point right up until the last tick of the clock.

For desserts, a good fruit salad is always a fine option. There are so many possible combinations – you can buy it tinned, but if you want to get the best out of a fruit salad it is ideal to buy the fresh fruit yourself and mix it together. A little bit of chopping is as much preparation as it requires, beyond stirring it lightly to mix it all up. What you put in is up to you, but fresh peaches, pineapple, strawberries and grapes are always popular, as is melon and mango.

 The humble apple is also an option to be considered. They are low in calories, juicy and what's more, excellent for your teeth. As well as an excellent source of vitamins and minerals, getting a lot of fruit in your diet is easy and fun.
