Fruits are an essential part of our diet because they are packed full of nutrients with loads of amazing benefits for our health. However having this knowledge does not compel us to eat as much as we require for maintaining good health. Here are some tips that will help you include more fruit daily.
Start With Fruit
Start your day with some fruits as part of your breakfast. A little fruit salad with oats for breakfast will keep you refreshed in the morning and is a great way to start your day. Garnish your cereal with berries, apple slices and bananas, then help yourself to a glass of freshly squeezed juice.

Detox With Fruit

Prep Your Fruit
Prepping fruit beforehand makes it easy to eat them when you have to. Peeling a pineapple or Pawpaw in advance, storing in Ziploc bags or air tight containers and placing in the fridge will make you more likely to reach for it as soon as you need it.

Freeze Your Fruit
When fruits are not stored properly they get spoilt quickly and you may end up wasting it. As soon as you get your fruit, wash, peel and place in little portions to freeze. Frozen fresh fruits retain their flavor and last longer. You can always reach out for them on the go.

Display Your Fruit
You are more likely to pick up an apple if it is displayed in a fruit bowl on your kitchen counter, dining table or in the refrigerator. It is so easy to reach out and eat one because you can see it. Displaying fruit is a great way to encourage yourself and entire family to eat them because it is readily visible and available.

Variety of Fruit
Eating the usual apple, oranges, banana might become boring after a while. Try a rainbow of fruits; buy peaches if you have never had them, try Soursop, get a variety of berries. Purchasing a variety of fruit will encourage you to eat more fruit because it will be exciting to try something new, which you may probably fall in love with.
