Here is some great fruit info, and even greater fruit salad tips, for you and your family!

1. High in Fiber

Almost any fruit you decide to put in your fruit salad is guaranteed to have high fiber. If you want to boost your fiber intake, make sure your salad as raspberries, pears, bananas and oranges! These fruits are extremely high in fiber.

2. Delicious Dessert Substitute

At the end of dinner we all has a little bit of a sweet tooth, so why not opt for a healthy bowl of fresh fruit? Sometimes fruits can be a little bitter or sour so I suggest adding a drizzle of raw honey on top to boost the sweet and decadent flavors!

3. Rich in Vitamins and Minerals

When you eat fruit salad you’re consuming essential vitamins, minerals, enzymes and antioxidants! This keeps your body running smoothly, boosts your immune system and reduces inflammation throughout your body that could potentially cause pain and disease.

4. Amazing For Entertaining

Fruit salads are absolutely gorgeous, there’s no doubt about that! When you have friends or family over, why not make them a beautiful edible centerpiece? You can add honey, plain yogurt or even dark chocolate for a dip!

Fruit is rich and vibrant in color, just as it’s rich in nutrients.

5. Versatile

The initial thought of mixing fruits and vegetables may seem unappetizing, but the truth is, they make a great team! The next time you make a vegetable salad, instead of putting in cucumber and tomato, add orange slices and blueberries!
