Fruit is sugar. Sugar is sugar.

This doesn’t mean we don’t eat small quantities of low glycemic fruits. It does mean I don’t pack fruit cups for lunch.

I hear the excuse often that someone can’t do low carb because they feel fruit is too important in their child’s diet. I challenge them to do some research on the nutrients found in non-starchy vegetables and protein.

We eat small quantities of raspberries, strawberries, blueberries and blackberries. Avocados are a staple here. I sub jicama or squash for apples. Jicama can be eaten sliced and topped with sun butter and SF honey or baked with cinnamon and swerve. There are a ton of recipes that sub squash for things like apple pie. You literary can’t tell a difference!

There is nothing in fruit that you can’t find In vegetables or protein. Consider what you think you might know about nutrition, could be wrong.  Find reliable sources and power yourself with knowledge.

Fun fact: there is more Vitamin C in a red pepper then an orange. Look that up!
