It’s important to eat at least 5 or 6 times a day to keep your energy levels high. The problem is, most folks who have healthy main meals, will have unhealthy snacks in between.

Eliminating these unhealthy snacks could be key for your own body transformation, so let me give you 3 Super Fruit snack alternatives…

Grapefruit – With more nutrient per calorie than apples, and more than 100% of your daily recommended Vitamin C, eating grapefruit can prevent illness and ‘premature’ aging.

Avocado – (Yes! A Fruit!) Avocados help with growth and development of the brain and nervous system, thanks to their high concentration of unsaturated fats. They’re also jam packed with a wide variety of vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients (add a teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil and red wine or balsamic vinegar for a tasty treat).

Prunes – With TWICE as much potassium as a banana and packed with anti-oxidants, eating prunes can help maintain healthy blood pressure and keep you looking young – even though prunes look wrinkly!

Fact is, fruit is good for you and most fruit is also super tasty. So make it a habit to swap out your chips and chocolate bars for grapefruit and avocados. You’ll still get to snack and you’ll be helping your body.

Hi there, I stopped by to check out your site after you left a comment on my blog (thanks for the compliment). Just wanted to let you know I’ve really enjoyed reading the content here. Very good stuff! I think I will incorporate some of your tips into my own exercise plan. (Been trying to jump-start the exercise regiment … again.) Thank you for inspiring me to get back on track!

Also – just wondering: Do plums have the same anti-oxidants and benefits as prunes? I could never get down with prunes (don’t like the taste), but I do like plums. Thanks!
