4 cutie oranges

Directions:  

• Wash the fruit thoroughly 
• Cut the celery and wash it 
• Cut tops of strawberries
• Cut the Pears into pieces
• Peel and separate the cuties
• Mix all the fruit together 
• Spread the peanut butter on the celery sparingly, add raisins if you like them!

Now it is time to get out a plate and enjoy your snack. This recipe makes enough for you to share some with your friends and family.

You may be saying peanut butter..is that really heart healthy? Well first eating a lot of peanut butter is not good for you because it does contain saturated fat. If you eat saturated fat in moderation it's alright, hey it is even in the food pyramid, but it does say use sparingly! In this recipe we recommend 2 tablespoons. Peanut butter does have some good benefits to it...containing lots of protein, vitamin A, E and folate and other important vitamins and minerals. 

I took a picture of my heart healthy fruit salad below. Enjoy!
