Apples, Apricots & NoBesity For Kids

Apples, Apricots & NoBesity For Kids

by / Monday, 31 January 2011 / Published in Nutrition, Weight Loss News

apricotsNobesity for kids (NB4K) is partnering with local community centers to provide free nutrition and yoga classes for children. NB4K is aligned with Michelle Obama’s “Let’s Move Campaign”.

Apples and Apricots… are good for you!

Apples can be traced back to the Romans and Egyptians who introduced them to Britain and America. Apricot in Latin means “precious” because this fruit ripens earlier than other summer fruits. The Chinese associate the apricot with education and medicine. Apricots are members of the peach family, only smaller.

Try this Veggie Delight Smoothie:

2 cups apple juice
1 cup sliced apple
1 cup applesauce
1 cup sliced carrots
1 cup peeled & sliced cucumber
2.5 cups of ice

Put all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.
