Adding thks to my ongoing blog of my homemade recipes part 2. Had this yesterday, and it was super delicious!
All 3 of these fruits & veggies are loaded with so many nutrients. I love the taste of them all. I ate the carrots 🥕 last, but I ate the bananas 🍌, and kiwi 🥝 together!
Benefits of Carrots 🥕

May Help Bones."
"The antioxidants, other nutrients, and vitamins in carrots can promote eye, skin, hair, bone, and oral health."
"Thanks to the amount of essential vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that's packed into each Daucus carota subsp. sativus, many experts have elevated this humble veggie to the level of “superfood.”
Bananas 🍌
"Bananas are a nutritious, low calorie fruit that may help:
improve blood sugar levels.
prevent constipation.
improve gut, kidney, and heart health.
aid in weight loss.
keep you feeling full.
support post-exercise recovery."
What are the benefits of eating banana 🍌?
"Bananas contain fiber, potassium, folate, and antioxidants, such as vitamin C. All of these support heart health. A 2017 review found that people who follow a high fiber diet have a lower risk of cardiovascular disease than those on a low fiber diet."
"Despite some negative attention, bananas are nutritious and may even carry the title of the first “superfood,” endorsed by the American Medical Association in the early 20th century as a health food for children and a treatment for celiac disease."
Kiwi 🥝
"Kiwis are high in Vitamin C and dietary fiber and provide a variety of health benefits. This tart fruit can support heart health, digestive health, and immunity. The kiwi is a healthy choice of fruit and is rich with vitamins and antioxidants."
"Kiwi fruit is one of the richest sources of Vitamin C, Vitamin K, and Vitamin A and is replete with healthy carotenoids and Omega 3 fatty acids. Everyone should eat at least one kiwi fruit daily owing to its health benefits."
"Although oranges are most people's go-to for a quick hit of vitamin C, the kiwi fruit actually contains more. This is what gives kiwi its 'superfood' reputation. Vitamin C is powerful antioxidant which helps the body fight oxidative damage from free radicals."
"Kiwifruit: According to one study, eating three kiwifruit daily can help dramatically lower blood pressure. Kiwi is delicious chopped up in fruit salad or sprinkled on top of plain yogurt."
I actually prefer to cook carrots within a recipe, but raw carrots are the best way to consume all the nutrients they possess. Apparently kiwi, bananas, and carrots are all considered a "Super Food".
I don't really like eating a banana all by itself, but I love a delicious fruit salad with bananas added. I remember my Mother always having a huge bowl of raw vegetables in our kitchen, when I was growing up, and bananas were always included.
Kiwi 🥝 is so tasty all by themselves, or in a yummy fruit salad. I think I'll add some to plain yogurt for breakfast. I'm definitely going to eat them, daily, to lower my blood pressure.
What is the number 1 fruit to lower blood pressure?
"The top fruits for lowering blood pressure include bananas, apples, pears, apricots, grapes, raisins, kiwis, mangoes, watermelon, pomegranate, plums, prunes, avocado, cantaloupe, honeydew melon, tomatoes, citrus fruit, berries, and more."
I have some huge fresh of the vine avocados 🥑, and yesterday we had one with shredded cheese, salsa & white corn tortilla chips. It's definitely one of my favorite snacks. I could eat it, every single day. Quick & easy to make, too.
We recently bought a little watermelon 🍉, and cantaloupe. I'll wait a few more days for them both to get ripe. Just like avocados 🥑, they both are packed with vitamins, and other essential nutrients! I love them both, as well.
We also bought some beet juice, and pomegranate juice, both combined with other juices. I'd rather drink beet juice than to eat them. They will help lower blood pressure, and that's my goal for drinking it.
It always amazes, and puzzles me when I find out someone doesn't like any kinds of fruits! Same with vegetables! There's only a million different kinds, with a variety of different tastes.
Personally, I'd much rather eat raw fruits & veggies, or cook different recipes with my favorite ones; than to take vitamin supplements. So many fresh fruits & veggies can directly help with your digestive system.
I have enough kiwi 🥝 to eat a few, every day for at least a week or more! It's been so long since I had them, and I forgot how delicious they are; especially when juicy!
Health is wealth!
