A Basket of Fruit is the Perfect Easter Basket
This year celebrate the spring by giving a basket of fruit instead of a basket of candy for Easter. A colorful basket of bright oranges and grapefruits is the perfect way to welcome the spring and celebrate Easter. At first your family might not be too crazy about giving up a traditional basket of chocolate for a basket of fruit but once they taste the delicious fresh citrus fruit in the basket they will be happy to give up candy for healthy fruit. If you don’t want to sacrifice candy entirely, get a fruit basket that also contains gourmet chocolates and natural sugar candies. That way they can have a little candy and a lot of healthy and nutritious fruit.
A basket of healthy fruit is the perfect way to welcome the spring. Most people are looking forward to shedding heavy winter clothing and wearing comfortable, light spring and summer clothes but if you haven’t lost those holiday pounds yet you may be dreading the coming of warmer weather. Don’t complicate by the problem by gorging on chocolate and candy this Easter. Stick to eating fresh oranges and grapefruits, which have less than one hundred calories each and can satisfy your sweet cravings without adding pounds. In fact eating grapefruit has been proven to help people lose weight, so eating a basket of grapefruit instead of a basket of chocolate can help you get into those spring and summer clothes quickly.
Oranges, grapefruits and other fruits store well, so no matter what the weather is like this Easter you can hide a basket of fruit outside for the kids to find and when they find it the fruit will still taste delicious. Unlike chocolates, which can melt or freeze, the fruit will still taste like it was just picked off the vine. When you order fruit baskets directly from growers you usually receive the basket just a couple of days after the fruit was picked so it’s still quite fresh and delicious. Any leftover fruit can be kept for several weeks so you and your family will have healthy snacks for quite some time after the holiday.
This year start your family out on the right foot by giving them a tasty basket of fruit instead of a traditional chocolate filled Easter basket. You will be teaching your kids to make healthy food choices and you will be staying on your healthy diet.
