3-Ingredient Fruit Salsa!

FRUIT -- the world's natural sweetness!

 Another reason it's great: FIBERY goodness!!
This weekend my friend, Jenny, introduced me to this delicious FRUIT SALSA! She tried it first with sweetener, but decided (even being the sugar-lover that she is) that it's great even without the added sweetener!


Tupperware Fruit Salsa

1 Apple
3 Kiwi
8 Strawberries
Simply chop everything up and enjoy!  I used my mini food chopper, or you could use your
Tupperware Chopper if you have one! Great on toast, your favorite chips or crackers, or these:

 Food Should Taste Good Multigrain Tortilla Chips
These most simply have 3 grams of fiber per serving, making them a better choice than usual tortilla chips. They still should be considered a treat, but when you're having this special treat, you'll be getting some fiber and other nutrients too! These are made with a variety of nutritious ingredients, including flaxseed (unfortunately the seeds are whole making their omega-3 fats unabsorbable), quinoa and brown rice (healthy gluten-free grain alternatives), oats, sunflower and sesame seeds! Check out the Nutrition Facts and Ingredients.
It looks like Food Should Taste Good have tons of AWESOME products! I want to try them ALL!! Here is the website! I've also tried the yummy Sweet Potato Chips!
 

 COMING SOON: more fruit yummies!
COMMENTS: Where have you found this brand of chips and snacks?  I got these at Costco, and the Sweet Potato Chips at Heinen's.

Learn about Laraballs!


These are yummy homemade, no-bake cookies are similar to the awesome product called Larabars!

Super-NUTRITIOUS snacks: filled with fiber, protein, healthy fat, high-energy carbohydrate source, vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals!

Most recipes contain NO sugar!

 The only times there is sugar are in recipes with dried fruit that you cannot find unsweetened, such as is the case sometimes with cherries and cranberries. In Laraball recipes, these berries are combined with another unsweetened dried fruit to minimize the amount of sugar. Sweetening of these berries is COMPLETELY unnecessary in these recipes -- but it's difficult to find some dried fruits unsweetened -- BOO WHO!  Please TELL ME if and where you find some!

No butter or oil.

Just NUTS, FRUIT, and SPICES!

 Always Gluten-FREE!

Most recipes make 12-16 one-inch Laraballs, or you can shape them however you like!

Nutrition information: each Laraball has on average 40-50 calories, 1-2g protein, 2g HEALTHY fat, and 4-5g carbs, including 1-2g fiber.

If you prefer CRUNCHY to chewy, try baking your favorite flavor. Just add 1/2 c rolled oats to the recipe. Bake at 375 degrees, 15-20 min. The longer you bake them, the crunchier they'll get!

Here are some tasty favors:
