Millions of Peaches

Peaches have arrived at the farmers market!!! I bought some yesterday with fuzzy red skin and soft, sweet orange flesh... ripe to perfection. Peaches are one of my favorite fruits to eat as a snack. They are so juicy (peaches are 80% water!) and a great source of fiber to fill you up and help "move things through".  :)

They're also high in Vitamin A, offering you lots of benefits for your vision and regulating proper cell growth (this means protecting you against lots of cancers!) Potassium is another nutrient abundant in peaches, helping to regulate blood pressure. This is an important thing for anyone with hypertensive or pre-hypertensive blood pressures!! We all love our salt, and to counterbalance all that salt, we need potassium.

For dessert tonight, try sliced peaches and blueberries with some vanilla yogurt! Nomnomnomnom
Or, if you're firing up the grill, try halving and pitting the peaches and throwing them on face down. Put sliced pineapple in the middle, or any other fruit you might have, and sprinkle with granola!
