Now I know there are some of you out there who are not big fruit fans and I am one of them. And there are some of you out there who will eat fruit like it’s going out of season. Like everything God created He created fruit to help us, refresh us, and keep us healthy and the more we learn about fruit the more we can see benefits to eating them. So if you’re like me and it’s not on your high priority to eat fruit, I challenge you to at least try adding some fruit to your meal plans at least 2 times a week. Who knows maybe we can learn to like fruit more and increase in eating it more throughout the weeks. And if you love fruit add more it can’t hurt.

Two to three times a week at least and be daring, try some new fruit, you might find yourself liking it. Happy eating!
