You can also make a simple smoothie by blending together the banana, strawberry and skim milk. Add other fruits such as peaches or apricots, if you will, too.
If you cupcakes and cookies normally during the day, try apple or some dried fruit (like apricots) instead. Carrots are actually very soft and gross.
One of the fruits and vegetables really wonderful is that they are very low in fat, or even free! Fiber is important because it helps to break down food digestion faster. With the exception of the fiber of fruits and vegetables, found a wide variety of foods such as potatoes, pasta, cereals and bread. You can also use the skins of fruits and vegetables (like apples, pears, carrots, potatoes) instead of peeling.
Another important aspect of consumption than in good health is to reduce fat intake, especially the “bad” saturated fat. These fats have been linked to health problems like diabetes, heart disease, stroke and obesity. Saturated fats are mainly found in takeaway food / fast, chicken skin, butter and cream and visible fat from red meat.
Unsaturated fats, monounsaturated fats, in particular, are useful for cholesterol lowering properties. These fats are found in most nuts and cooking oils like olive oil and canola.
