Fruit Side Plate

Hey everybody!I cut up this plate of fruit for the family to enjoy during dinner. It took about 15 minutes to cut and prep. No special equipment needed, just a knife and cutting board! It was quite the variety. Strawberries, clementines, grapes, blue berries, a pazazz apple, a Bartlett pear, kiwi and a banana rounded out the plate. Produce is coming into season right now! It tastes great and the prices are much easier to swallow, compared to several months back. I understand that some diets restrict fruit consumption. But most diets allow for large quantities of vegetables. Capitalize on this! Set up a plate with a bountiful array of different colors and textures of vegetables and you will achieve a similar visual affect. I weighted out my portion of fruit and it came to 171 calories. Not bad at all!Enjoy the pictures, enjoy the season, and get yourself some fresh produce!See you at the next post!
