Fruit Snacking, Power Smoothie, Lunge w/ Kettle Bell

Tip of the Day: Fruit Snacking

We all know we should be eating fruit everyday, especially from all those studies out there saying that fruit promotes weight loss, and prevents weight gain. A good idea to switch up eating fruit is to dress it up. Eat an apple with a little peanut butter, or add chopped walnuts and a little maple syrup to an apple. Those are both additives that will help your health! Another thing you can do to make fruit more interesting to eat is to freeze it. Freeze some grapes or cherries and munch on them during the day.
