VeganMoFo – Favorite Foods

 

Kiwi is my favorite fruit.  While I focus on nutritional aspects below, my love of kiwi is mostly motivated by the flavor and texture.  I’m just being honest here! 

I have read that kiwi is considered the healthiest fruit there is, up there with blueberries, and both have low amounts of poison residue even when you buy the conventional (read: poisoned) variety. 

With almost as much potassium as a banana, more vitamin C than an orange, it’s hard to beat these…..but did I mention the kiwifruit oil also has omega 3 fatty acids?  Kiwi are low in calories and, like most plant-based foods, also supply some calcium. 

Of course apples are in abundance right now, but I’m in favor of mixing it up and adding a variety of fruits to the mix – it makes for a healthy snack.  Or dessert.  Add some nuts and a coconut-agave-lime dressing and you’ve got lunch.
