 The Fruit Connection
 National Nutrition Month
In This Issue


Join our mailing list!

Greetings!

Inspired by health challenges faced by many dear relatives, this "National Nutrition Month" issue of the Fruit Connection is all about helping you eat more healthfully. It might seem hard or scary to change eating habits of a lifetime. If we can make it a little easier, that is our goal!

This issue contains a list of helpful websites that have way more recipes than we can fit in an email.

If you have a favorite food site that you'd like to share with other Fruit Connection readers, please send us an email and we'll include in the April newsletter. Thanks!

 Our Parents Were Right!
 Eat Your Fruits & Vegetables!

Believe it or not, when our parents told us to eat our vegetables, they not only had the right idea, they had our best interests at heart.

Yours truly spent countless nights stuck at the dinner table, eyeing a plate with green beans I was "NOT" going to eat. Hours later, my dad always won and I ate the green beans.

It's amazing what the passage of 30 years can do to help change taste preferences. One of my favorite dishes now is...green beans! (Sauteed with sesame oil and garlic, with lemon juice squeezed over them-delicious!!)

SO, this former "green-bean-hater" is encouraging you to revisit veggies and fruit as a delicious way to explore healthier eating!

Pick something new in the produce aisle this week! (If you get it home and don't know what to do with it, send me an email and I'll give you some ideas!)


 


 More Matters!
 Eat more produce every day

A brand-new Produce for Better Health program is being introduced this month with the message" More Matters".

It points out that getting MORE produce into your diet DOES matter, and that all kinds of produce count! Dried fruit, (I've even seen freeze-dried veggies), frozen, canned, jarred, juiced; do whatever you like, just get these delicious, powerful health allies into your diet every day!

Brochure Offer:The first 20 people to reply to this newsletter will receive a new "More Matters" guide to healthful eating. Simply email your name and address to morematters@fruitiongifts.com


 


 New Fruition Gifts Service!
 Fruit4U

Offices are full of temptation, with folks bringing in cookies and candy, or the vending machine calling your name during the afternoon slump. Even your house can create roadblocks to good eating if there are snacks around of the chip and cookie variety.

One key to eating more healthfully is to actually have "good stuff" on hand. To help our readers and customers have healthful snacks at their fingertips, Fruition Gifts introduces its "Fruit4U" program of weekly, bi-weekly or monthly deliveries of fresh fruit, nuts and dried fruits.

Corporate clients who have signed up report that their employees are excited and loving the healthful snacks!

Fruition Gifts client Amy Brewer gets monthly deliveries of Pink Lady apples shipped to her home. "If they're here, we'll eat them", sums up her philosophy. She likes leaving the work to us!

For more information on getting fruit, nuts and dried fruit delivered to your office and/or home, please send an email to fruit@fruitiongifts.com with "Fruit 4 U" in the title, and include your questions about the program.

The "Fruit4U" program is available for corporate and residential locations throughout the continental US. Any size home or office is "doable"!

If you'd like this program for your office but you are not the decision-maker, we'll be happy to contact him or her and introduce the program.


 


In honor of St. Patrick's Day, we've included a couple green-theme recipes at the end of this newsletter. Enjoy!

Need or want to send a gift this week? Check out the St. Patrick's Day specials on the "Seasonal Gifts" page at www.FruitionGifts.com for an unexpected holiday touch to your thank- you, birthday or get-well gifts. Have a Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Fruitfully Yours,
