Today's Tip: Try some Kiwi!

"Going Green" is the thing these days...and it's not just about recycling.  If you aren't already a fan of kiwi fruit, add some of their green hue to your plate.  These fuzzy-skinned fruits have twice as much vitamin C per serving as oranges and twice as more potassium than bananas. They are packed with magnesium and fiber, and they're also low in calories, which makes them the perfect sweet snack.  I pair them up with some strawberries, or here's a smoothie recipe to try for breakfast tomorrow.

Kiwi-Banana-Strawberry Smoothie
6 oz plain Greek yogurt
1/2 banana
1/2 cup frozen or fresh strawberries
1 kiwi
1-2 teaspoons honey
crushed ice
Truvia as needed to additionally sweeten

Mix all in a blender and enjoy!
