Despite enjoying a cool snack on a hot day, the sugar would leave me with a headache – the kids with a sugar rush. I wondered why Popsicles were so simple to make, yet no one had ever made them healthy.””]

The Fru-licious ice pops and smoothie pops in our March Fit Snack box are popsicles reinvented. The mission of Fru-licious is to bring you healthy items at a low cost. A mom on a mission is behind this fabulous creation. The only thing better than a healthy snack for your kid, is one that doesn’t break the bank.

Think of all of the things that kids have to enjoy on a cool day –fruit, lemonade. Fru-licious made sure to incorporate these delicious flavors into their ice pops and smoothie pops. They are made with 100% real fruit juice from an array of beautiful exotic fruits such as:

  • blood orange – which has more vitamin C than regular oranges
  • ginger – a natural anti inflammatory, and great for an upset stomach
  • blueberry – antioxidants

just to name a few.

All of this with NO SUGAR, NO trace of ARTIFICIAL INGREDIENTS and NO GLUTEN. Even though the kids will love them, I think it’s safe to say there’s something for everyone here.[/fancy-ul][/vc_column][/vc_row]

How To Eat More Fruits & Veggies!

How To Eat More Fruits & Veggies!

Eating Fruits & Veggies are Essential

Here are some tips on how to develop fruit and veggie habits:

If you do not eat a lot of fruits and veggies, your body will need a little time to adjust to the lifestyle. Here is a quick 1, 2, 3 on how to make small adjustments, which will result in huge gains later.

  1. Fruit: Eat fruit in the morning. A few great options are blueberries, raspberries (each lower in sugar) or apples (higher in fiber). From there, you can even add various color combinations, making your AM fruit a fun adventure. We also recommend a play on your favorites, using fruit like frozen grapes in place of popsicles or ice cream.
  2. Veggies: Start by adding 1 type of veggie to each meal. If you are not sure where to start, go for whatever is in season. Examples are; scrambled eggs or egg whites with Kale or Spinach for breakfast, a Tuna Salad with Green Beans for lunch and Lean Steak with Brussel Sprouts for dinner. Brussel sprout cooking tip – Cut Brussel Sprouts in half, saute’ on hot pan making them slightly charred, then roast in oven at 350 until soft. A little oil and balsamic will sweeten them up!
  3. Final Step:  Our final tip is to make sure that you are eating healthy snacks in between meals. This will keep your pallet on point to appreciate the fruits and veggies to come. Before you know it, you’ll be eating lighter, healthier and fresher.

Cheers to healthy!
