Trying to include fruits and/or vegetables at every meal requires us to get creative! One of those fruits I want to include more of this spring is fresh pineapple!
Pineapple is great because it benefits:
- Immunity! 1 cup of pineapple has 131% the daily value of vitamin C.
- Digestion! Pineapple has enzymes that specifically assist the digestive process.
- Energy! Pineapple contains manganese necessary to convert food to energy!
I bought the sweetest pineapple at the grocery store this week. We just about finished it off, when I cut off a chunk to include in some fruit quesadillas. We decided to cut it up and add other tropical fruits. Our Fruity Breakfast Quesadillas Recipe included:
- Pineapple
- Strawberries
- Oranges
- and a mango
We then mixed the fruit with some light cream cheese, and spread it between two whole wheat tortillas, and grilled it until the tortillas were crispy.
