A Piece of Sunshine!
Oranges, clementines, tangerines – oh boy. At the top of my list of favorite fruits are citrus fruits such as oranges, grapefruits and clementines. I like their sweet flavor, juiciness and the way they’re ‘wrapped’ by nature. I can carry citrus fruits anywhere and when I bite into one, I feel like I’m eating a piece of sunshine.
Vitamin C is a Citrus Bonus!
I like staying healthy and full of energy all year long. Do you? If you answered ‘yes’ then choose citrus. Vitamin C comes along with the sweet flavor of citrus, or the sour flavor if you choose a lemon or lime. As an antioxidant, vitamin C can make cold symptoms less serious and it can strengthen your immune system in general. Now, that’s a great way to stay well this winter, and all year long!
Add Citrus to Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner!
What are you waiting for? Now is the perfect time to add a tangerine or half grapefruit half to breakfast. Or, squeeze a glass of orange juice for lunch. At dinner, brighten your salad by spritzing it with fresh lemon or lime juice and/or zest (the outside skin, grated). Go for citrus as you set a good example at your meal table. Need more help?
