Nutritional Tips.
Week 4: Fruit
Summer is a great time to work on increasing your fruit intake (Frozen fruit is an alternative). Farmers markets and many groceries stores sell local fruit from our area which means it’s likely going to have more flavor, freshness, and slightly more nutrients. Incorporating more fruit into your diet is a great way to satisfy your sweet tooth naturally. Some of my favorite summer fruits are berries. The specific type of berry doesn’t matter; they are all great sources of antioxidants, fiber, vitamin C, potassium and folate. Try to incorporate about 1.5-2 cups of fruits per day this week. Try adding fresh berries or cherries to a fruit and veggie smoothie or eat a cup as a pre-workout snack. Any way you can get ‘em in is great! Here is a great dessert recipe:
Greek Yogurt with Warm Berry Sauce
Frozen berries make this a year-round treat. Although this is dessert, there's enough protein to consider it for breakfast.
