This is not that easy but I feel so much better since we started. My kids LOVE fruit but also love sweets. They are learning that sweets are for “special” things and fruits can be just as sweet and tasty. We also love going to the farmer’s market and my son gets to pick out what he wants. That way we are getting the freshest possible and supporting local farmers.
I think high quality organic fruit is so much more luscious and delicious than any candy. and it makes you feel great.
I already love apples and oranges, but I decided to try clementines and kiwi. Very tasty!
This is my fourth day doing this and I feel so good. My husband even decided to do this with me… as a lifestyle change. It’s guilt free which makes enjoying it all the tastier! Yum

This was so easy. I adore fruit, but sometimes forget how good it truly is… which is easy to do with all the goodies out there. Try this one, you may rediscover a long, lost love
