Purchasing and incorporating more fresh fruits into your diet is sometimes not as easy or economical as buying pre-packaged, processed fruits.  Fresh fruits tend to ripen fast when not eaten within a few days after the purchase.  A great rule of thumb is to shop for fresh produce often, and eat them frequently.  If your produce does begin to show signs of over-ripening, simply cut them up and freeze them in plastic bags or air-tight containers.  They will last for up to 6 months frozen opposed to 6 days at room temperature.  Once they are frozen, there are many things that can be done with these frozen goodies.

Making something tasty out of leftover or over-ripe, frozen fruit made easy.

I like the taste of ice cream but don’t like how it makes my belly feel after eating it.  Now I enjoy the creamy texture and taste of ice cream without all the aftereffects that comes with it.  Yummy frozen yogurt did the trick.  Frozen yogurt has pro-biotics and cultures that aids in the proper digestion process, not only of the yogurt itself, but of foods that will be eaten later.  Instead of cut fruit, I topped the yogurt (vanilla) with blended frozen fruit to increase the flavor and enhance its nutritional content.  Any type of blended frozen fruit will do, as long as it is tasty.  Balancing flavors and textures brings the WOW factor to your taste buds.
