So we also went to get fruit and veggies. Tons of them! When you don't eat sugar sometimes all you need is a little sweetness to finish off your meal. Fruit is perfect (most of the time). We went to Rancho Markets in Provo. It had really cheap fruit. (you have to pick through it and it might have been there for a while so it needs to be refrigerated but it was delicious to eat!)
And then Sunflower market (in Orem) is kind of a farmers market/health food store. The fruit there was better but not as cheap. Still a good price though. The best thing I have in my day is this delicious fruit smoothie from (once again) my awesome SIL Leah:
Take 2 peeled cold oranges, throw them in a blender, add 2 ice cubes.
Blend till smooth
Add 2 bananas blend till smooth.
I only use one of each because I have a small blender (sort of like a magic bullet) and eat it with my daily bowl of oatmeal. You can also add any fruit to it. Left over berries, pineapple, mango are some of the different kinds I have tried. All delicious!
We also got lots of veggies
Jicama
avocados
cucumbers
yellow and orange peppers
sweet potatoes
I love this sweet potato dish from Leah. It's seems a little hard at first cause I don't have fresh herbs sitting around or the dressing or the feta. But once you get it.... BAM! This will be a simple veggie dish you do often. Or every night for a week, like me. It's that good people.
Special Sauce:
I got some Greek yogurt from Costco. Then I made Ranch dip with the Ranch powder packet. Regular Ranch has sugar people! And lots of garbage. So this is a good way to make dips for those veggies and I also use it for a salad dressing when I make taco salad. I spread it on a turkey sandwich too. Delish!
