Fruit is beneficial, but it should only be eaten in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
The DGA states that two cups of fruit per day should be consumed as part of a diet that contains 2,000 calories.
Blend leafy greens, almonds, and lean protein (such as Greek yogurt or tofu) into a smoothie with fresh or frozen fruit.
Fruit can be added to stir fries, slaws, and entrée salads that are vegetarian.
Eat fruit with protein and healthy fat from nuts, seeds, nut/seed butter, or hummus.
Choose fruit over candies or baked products.
Type 2 diabetics should avoid packaged junk foods like chips, crackers, and pretzels since they include refined carbohydrates, salt, and added sugars.
