Fruit is refreshing, naturally sweet, and goes with everything!
6. Homemade protein bars
Store-bought protein bars tend to have lots of refined sugar. Get the same energy boost without the empty calories by making your own, and naturally sweetening them with fruit. Banana Coconut Energy Bars or No-Bake Fruit Energy Bars make the perfect post-workout snack.
7. Pancakes
If you’ve given up gluten, or just want to try clean pancakes, you can use bananas as part of your pancake batter. These Flourless Banana Pancakes and these Banana Oat Pancakes with Apricot Compote will be your new favorite morning treat.
8. Soups
Fall and winter fruits, such as apples and pears, are delicious in root vegetable soups. Try our Creamy Sweet Potato and Pear Soup or Apple and Butternut Squash Soup to keep you warm this winter.
9. Sandwiches
You can add your favorite fruit to your favorite sandwich for some added crunch and sweetness. Our favorite fruity sandwiches are this Turkey, Pesto and Cranberry Melt, Chunky Peanut Butter and Banana Sandwich, or Roasted Pear Sandwich with Baby Spinach.
10. Oatmeal
Fresh or dried fruit makes an easy and healthy topping for oatmeal or overnight oats. Any fruit would be an excellent idea, but Banana Smash Oatmeal or Berry Overnight Oats are especially tasty.
