After having Baby Bean I became a snacking queen. Mainly because when you have a new baby in your arms, it's pretty damn difficult to find time to eat anything...let alone a healthy full meal. 

So grab n go junk became the norm-- a hand full of fruit loops here, a bowl of pretzels there...an entire bag of chips SMH ya'll get my drift. 

Unfortunately, all that snacking caught up to me and a week ago I stepped on the scale I was back to my pregnancy weight...I knew had to make a change and thats where fruit came in.


Fresh fruit is not only an easy go to snack, it's packed with health benefits and can help jump start your healthy eating or weigh loss journey. 

And if those are not reason enough to grab a piece of fruit and take a bite how about it tastes SO good and it will make you feel 1000 times better then that hand full of chips your eyeing, trust me.

So lets do better together shall we? 

Below are 10 healthy fruits you (we) need to start eating today, along with a few tips on picking the best fruit and how to wash + make your fruit last longer.

Lets all add clean eating, heart health, boosting our immune systems and feeling better about ourselves to our list of goals for 2022!

How To Pick The Best Fruit

The darker the berry:  the sweeter the juice, but not only that. Darker berries indicate that the fruit is holding many health benefits and while growing was able to keep out environmental stressors.

Organic is good: this means more antioxidants sometimes 20-40% more on average! 

Frozen or fresh: both are best! As fruit ages they will all lose some of its value however choosing frozen does not mean  you will lose out on nutrition. Reach for the organic bag and you will get just as much value. 

How To Make Your Fruit Last


It's no secret that fresh fruit can turn bad quickly, however there is a way to lock in the freshness

Upon first getting the fruit WASH IT! But not just any wash, tossing it in some water with some apple cider vinegar, will not only give it a deep clean and clear off any dirt it will also keep your fruit from going bad so fast. 

Also remember to check the recommended storing options for your fruit, as sitting some fruit together will make them go bad faster due to the natural gasses they let off. 

I hope this post helped and that you are on your way to picking up the 10 healthiest fruits you need to start eating. In the comments below let me know what fruits you will be picking up on your next shopping trip.

Until Next Time,
