Passion fruit!!! Passion fruit is good for you! It’s low in fat and is an outstanding source of dietary fiber. Passion fruit is also a good source of:... iron protein vitamin A vitamin C folate magnesium phosphorous potassium B vitamins Passion fruit isn’t difficult to eat, but it’s not quite as easy as biting into an apple. Try these tips for choosing and enjoying passion fruit at its best: When choosing passion fruit, look for one that feels heavy. The skin may be smooth or wrinkly. The more wrinkled the skin, the riper the fruit. Make sure there’s no discoloration, bruising, or green spots. Green passion fruit isn’t ripe. Wash passion fruit thoroughly to remove any pesticide residue and bacteria. With a sharp knife, cut the fruit in half. A serrated knife works well to cut through the tough, outer skin.(www.healthline.com)#passionfruit

Thank you everyone who stepped up to my last challenge I hope you were all able to find it helpful! Here’s my next challenge for you: Being grateful and doing something for YOU for the next 7 days! During this time of year and especially now with so much stress from dealing with the pandemic, we need now more than ever to live in gratitude and self love. I know, gratitude and self care has been so overly used that it has lost its impact. ... So, I am hoping with this new challenge we can all revive the importance of being grateful and making self care a priority! Gratitude....keep a journal ! The planet needs us now more than ever to lift its energy by finding things we are grateful for each day. Especially need to find gratitude on those days we are feeling blue. The best time to write in your gratitude journal is in the morning after you wake up and/or evening before bed. It only takes a few minutes to do I do 3 each morning and night-often times more at night because of things that happen thorough out my day. All I am asking you is do 3 a day! Start today! You will feel so much happier... it’s a fact! Keeping a gratitude list is part of self care.. but I suggest we kick it up a notch and focus each day by doing 3 things that makes YOU happy! This doesn’t include cleaning the house, doing laundry, making dinner! (Unless this makes you happy of course!). Doing something to make you happy is different for everyone. You need to find that out for yourself. It is not selfish to focus on making ourselves happier because if we aren’t happy and cared for we cant be there for those we love and care for dearly. Here are my examples: My grateful list this morning *. I am grateful for my warm bed and pillow that helps me get a good nights rest. * wake up calls from my furry son Bowie - those warm kisses * heading to work at the store so I can help support my family My self care today: * listening to my favourite tunes while working * enjoying my peppermint tea * decorating store window for Christmas!#gratitude #grateful #selfcare

Lotus root What is it? Although known as a root, it’s actually the rhizome of the lotus flower. Lotus roots can grow quite long under water and have segments linked like sausages. They are usually sold in shorter, more manageable portions and have become increasingly available at Asian stores.... Low in calories and an excellent source of fiber, they have long been enjoyed in Asia for numerous health benefits that include high vitamin and mineral contents. A traditional Chinese soup recipe of lotus roots boiled with peanuts is said to be good for the lungs. What does it taste like? The lotus root is mild tasting with a pleasantly sweet flavor. It has a crunchy texture comparable to celery. When cooked for a long time, such as in a soup or stew, it becomes softer but still retains a tender bite like just-cooked potatoes. Select lotus roots that are fat, heavy, and firm. Make sure the color is light brown for freshness and that there are no bruises or cracks. Uncut and wrapped in paper towels or a damp cloth in a plastic bag, they can be stored refrigerated for up to two weeks but best used within a week or so.
