Easy Snacks with Fruit

Sometimes it's hard to go to the grocery store and not know what you should get. Here's some ideas for the next time you go produce shopping.

Fruit Snacks (Wash all fruits/vegetables even if the skin is not eaten.)

• Cantaloupe

• Honeydew

• Watermelon

• Papaya

• Lychee

• Mango (sprinkle some hot sauce on top for a spicy treat)

• Guava

• Star fruit

• Passion fruit

• Pomegranate

• Grapefruit

Frozen Fruit Treats

• Wash and dry grapes or blueberries, put them in a plastic bag, and place the bag in the freezer for 5 hours or longer. Eat them straight from the freezer, or drop them into fat-free or low-fat yogurt.

• Line a plate with plastic wrap or wax paper. Slice a banana and lay the slices out in a single layer. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and freeze. Drizzle melted dark chocolate for a healthy sweeter treat.

• Place portable fat-free or low-fat yogurt single-serve containers or "tubes" in the freezer. They make an ice cream-like treat.

• Pour 100% fruit juice with small chunks of fruit (pineapple or berries work well) into ice cube trays or small paper cups. When half-frozen, insert a popsicle stick or toothpick into each; put back into the freezer until completely frozen. Great as summer popsicles!
