The Fruit Basket Challenge invites you to keep fruit on the counter for 30 days. Try placing it on your kitchen counter, dining table, or even somewhere in your office. Wash the fruit first—so it’s ready to eat—and keep it in an attractive basket or bowl. Choose varying types of fruit, whatever is in season, since it tastes better and is usually less expensive. Before you know it, you’ll be eating more fruit than ever before. The goal of this challenge is to help you develop the habit of eating nutrient-rich fruit instead of less healthy snacks. Fruit is hydrating, packed with fiber, and contains nutrients like potassium, calcium, and antioxidants that are vital for health and healing in the body. Eating fruit can also reduce your risk of heart disease, stroke, and type-2 diabetes. It’s nature’s fast food!
