When to Eat Fruit

Fruit is nutritious; it provides the human body with necessary vitamins and minerals and should be a part of any healthy diet. Most of us know this, but what we don't know is that many of us are eating it at the wrong time. Did you know that when you eat your fruit will help to determine how much benefit you get out of eating the fruit?

The best time to eat fruit is as a snack when it will not be competing with other foods or with a meal. This makes it a perfect snack food. For example, eat breakfast and then a couple of hours later eat a banana. When you eat fruit following a meal you are not fully utilizing all of its nutrients.

Sangria Recipe

This sangria recipe takes 5 to 10 minutes to make. Make sure you have a pitcher large enough to hold one bottle of wine plus all of the fruit you add. Usually a one liter pitcher is large enough. You can also serve this sangria recipe in a punch bowl (with a wooden serving spoon).

Prepare this sangria recipe in the morning if possible so the sangria has several hours to absorb the the fruit juices into the wine. Allow the pitcher to cool in the fridge for several hours before serving.
