Melons

While eating healthy fruit is our friend!


Fruit helps us stay on track with both our minds and body’s.
Starting the day with fruit helps hydrates you for the day.
6 servings of fruit a day helps your sugar levels (sweet tooth) and gives you reasonable calorie counts.

Get your melon ballers out!

Cantaloupes are only 29 calories for a ½ cup.

They are also referred to Muskmelons if you see that in a recipe. My grandmother use to sprinkle just a tiny bit of salt on her cantaloupe. It makes it riper tasting.

Watermelons are 25 calories for a ½ of cup.

One of my favorite snacks is watermelon and whipped cream. It is so refreshing. Just a Tablespoon of whipped cream to ½ cup watermelon is almost better than ice cream with your late night TV show or to cool you on a hot day.

And it would only be 35 calories depending on the whipped cream you use!

* Please remember most things are not bad if you have balance. SMALL amounts of salt or cream is OK!
