Adding fruit to your diet?


I feel like I don't get enough fruit....I'm pretty good on veggies.

What kinds of fruit do you eat? I pretty much only eat a pear a day, and maybe a banana now and then. I'm not into oranges- I hate the work and they're sticky.Chat Icon

Working hard on that TTC diet!Chat Icon

Have you tried apples and peanut butter? That's one of my faves! Chat Icon

I also love pineapple but it has to be freshly cut.

Fuji apples with natural peanut butter is my new thing!

Also HUGE grapes (seedless) from Whole Foods!

I drink OJ in the morning too if that counts! Chat Icon

Re: Adding fruit to your diet?

oh speaking of apples...I LOVE golden delicious. They're my faves.

Every year the Kindergarten in my school has the same bulletin board...they do a survey of apples and the kids cut and color out apples and put their favorite under each category - Red, Golden and Granny Smith. This year Granny won, then Red and just a measly few liked Golden.

I found it odd that the kids would like Granny Smiths! Chat Icon

Re: Adding fruit to your diet?

really? PB and apples? I may have to give that a try right now.

I don't really eat that much fruit bc my DS loves his fruit so I feel like I'll eat a piece that he'll want. Chat Icon

Re: Adding fruit to your diet?

I eat Pineapple, apples, pears, bananas, grapes, strawberries.

Actually when I was PG with DS I started craving every fruit known to man, even ones I previously did not like. DS LOVES fruit, so its the old chicken before the egg thing.......makes me wonder often did I eat more fruit b/c he wanted it or does he like friut now b/c I ate so much of it.

TTC was a true motivator for me! I wish I would have been eating this well all the time. I can't believe how I'm doing with veggies now! I also took a Wellness course over the summer, so it kind of inspired me. Now I go with natural PB and Jelly. I try to avoid high fructose corn syrup too.

you can do it hon! Don't be hard on yourself!Chat Icon

Re: Adding fruit to your diet?

Do you like applesauce? I like the no sugar added kind, that counts!

I eat a pear almost every afternoon. I'm not a big fan of apples. but they are delicious with peanut butter. I love strawberries, raspberries, grapes, green, red, either ones. Plums, italian plums, pineapples...I love melon and watermelon but only if i don't have to cut them up! Kiwi is awesome too!

I live/work in NJ and there's Regional Training Center, affiliated with the College of NJ. They're basically education related grad courses.
