In the car, a bag of dried apricots or pineapple will fix that sweet tooth in a hurry, not to mention it’s good for you too. You certainly get satisfied very quickly, as compared with cookies and candy.
You don’t have to waste your time and money purchasing a food dehydrator in order to dry your own fruit. Fresh fruit can be dehydrated at home with an oven, microwave, and a rack.
Dehydrated fruit with no preservatives will keep for around two weeks so only make as much as you will eat in that time.
Citrus fruits, such as oranges, do not dehydrate well, but their skins do. Candied orange and lemon peels make a tasty ice cream garnish, an ingredient for a fruit cake, or they can be eaten alone.
Fruit roll ups are very popular as well, but look at what is in the package. If they are more sugar than fruit, give them a miss.
How else can you eat fruit on the run? Use your blender. Fruit smoothies allow you to get all of your daily fruit requirements in one drink.
nstead of using ice cream, use soy or fat free milk and ice cubes to make it smooth and give it texture. Sugar substitutes can be used to add more sweet flavor if desired.
Mix and match your favorite fruits to keep things from getting boring, and make a smoothie for breakfast every day. You can even have it on the run if you put it in your travel mug before heading out for work in the morning.
Fruit is one food that can be eaten on the go rather easily. There are many varieties of fruits to try, all with their own unique taste.
So since fruit is more readily available and easy to eat, with fresh and dried choices, you have no more excuses for not getting the recommended amount of fruit servings in your diet.
