Enjoy the FRUITS of Your Labor with Something Sweet!
The next time you have a taste for a little something sweet after dinner, or between meals — think first of fruit! 
It will satisfy that sweet tooth, and at the same time deliver a healthy dose of vitamins and fiber! Here in Florida we can get incredibly fresh (and less costly) produce by buying fruit when it is “in-season.” Oranges, tangerines, and grapefruit are plentiful here year- round. Just coming in to harvest right now are watermelon, cantaloupe, peaches, as well as tropical fruits like mango, papaya, and guava.
There are lots of ways to enjoy these fruits! Try a bowl of home-made tropical fruit salad. Or, cut some fresh mango and papaya and add yogurt and crushed nuts on top. Try your hand at baking some fresh fruit cobbler. Or how about throwing fruit into a blender with soy or almond milk and ice for a refreshing smoothie?
Be creative and experiment with new recipes to transform your dessert from empty calories to a calorie-conscious and nutritious addition to your day! Here a few delicious options to get you started:
Peach Crisp
Warm Orange Pudding
Mixed Berries and Lime Crema Parfaits
Banana and Oats Smoothie
Steamed Coconut Custard
