Fruits for thought..

 

 I have finally got my children into the habit of eating more fruits. They love to munch on particularly the blackberries.  Yes my kids also munch on chips, but they have to chose fruits before choosing chips. I love to take pictures of random things we do, so I thought I'd share it on my blog. In addition to the picture, might as well share some nutritional facts of these goodies.

I found this website, and I think it was fun typing in any food I can think of and get nutrition facts from it. Enjoy! I hope this has been informative.
