Why Gianna loves fruit...

Intro by Dana R. Arevalo 

I am fortunate that my children love fruit.  I must be honest and admit, I am very picky when it comes to fruit.  I prefer grapes, bananas, cherries; very simple fruits. My son loves every type of fruit: mangoes, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, kiwi (all anti-oxidants). 

My children will endlessly eat fruit. I've purchased 4 1/2 pounds of clementines and they were no longer with us within days. Being that I am going to start insanity on Monday (if it ever arrives); I asked my daughter to write this post for us as I need to change my eating habits.  I asked her a simple question:  Why do you love fruit? 

Gianna says:  

My favorite fruits are grapes and apples.  Sometimes I like to make my family fruit kabobs.  One day I was looking around and saw kabob sticks in the cabinet.  And..so I was thinking of shish kabobs and found the fruit and decided to make them.  

I cut up different fruit and put it on the sticks.  As a surprise I made a yogurt dip to use with it also.  I cut up bananas, oranges  grapes and strawberries.  

I love fruit because I think it tastes good.  I love fruit because it is healthy.  I love to dip my apples in peanut butter.  My parents make me take one fruit to school as a snack everyday.
