Fruitbowl

Want to snack better – the secret is in a fruit bowl.  When I keep fruit in the fridge, it goes in the bottom drawer and is often forgotten.  However, when there is a bowl on the counter, it disappears quickly.  In fact, I have had two plums since I snapped this shot.  If it wasn’t there, I for sure would’ve found cheese instead.

When days are super busy (as they often are), its so nice to have a healthy, easy snack within reach.  It’s not just for home too – have a smaller version on your desk at work.  Much better than the vending machine (most times, anyway).

Other benefits…

I’m not the only one who eats it.  People who are self-proclaimed “meat, cheese, and bread only” eaters gobble up nature’s sweet delights when in sight.  Gotta get the fiber in some how!

Its also great to look at – no wonder the Master’s were so inspired…
