Apples​

​Packed with vitamins and antioxidants, they promote heart health and support weight management. Apples are more than just a tasty snack!

​

​A must-have fruit in my home.  I go through about 3 a day!  A good suggestion would be to peel the skin to decrease the pesticides and chemicals on the apple. Limiting and decreasing these toxins is what I like to do, especially with fruits and vegetables that are not organic.
