Thread: Fabulous Fruits

If you are wondering which fruits are the best when it comes to availability, versatility, safety, vitamin and mineral content such as vitamin C, fiber, carotenoids, calcium, and folic acid, here they are

• Avocado
• Papaya
• Guava
• Cantaloupe
• Orange
• Apricots (dried, unsulfured)
• Mango
• Strawberries (organic)
• Kiwi
• Grapefruit (pink or red)

Hope this list helps!

I love avocado, orange, and mango so much and I am glad to have seen them on the list! Thanks for sharing this with us Mikela. Great stuff

Be careful not to overeat them though because a cup of avocado has 276 calories. Although it's rich in healthy fats that is good for the heart. Mango is also rich in calories but also rich in fiber. Oranges are also my favorite as I have not had cough and cold for awhile because I eat orange often. Just keep it in moderation and you'll be fine.

Really? Wow that's a lot of calories for a fruit! But you are right though, I'll be okay as long as I eat them in moderation. I add a slice of orange on my water and I enjoy drinking it a lot. I'm just crazy over avocado and I normally eat them with milk and it's so good. I'll make sure I only eat half a cup each time and use skim milk to lessen the calories. Thanks for the added information Mikaela. I really appreciate it

I love my avocado in a milkshake so much! I've been craving for it the whole summer and made me gain a little weight . I don't have them as much now because I eat more vegetables now. I'm glad I can help dazzler and I am happy to help!

how do you eat avacado with milk!? do you just chop it up and eat it like cereal with milk? or blend it into a milkshake??? sounds deeelliciouss!!
i lovee mangos but i also heard about their high calorie content.

sweet!! thanks i love mangos.
how do pineapples fare on that list? they are my next favorite!

I just love fruits, they are the best food to have when you talk about the nutrition.

Blend avocado with ice, milk, and lots of sugar for a refreshing shake...I'll never get enough of it. Have you had avocado ice cream? Purrrrfect !

I love avocado shake and ice cream! It's my favorite! You should try using yogurt instead of milk and it's even healthier and more delicious. You'll love it
