OhSoFruity

This post isn't the only thing I'm thinking about today that is short and sweet and ohsojuicy, because, today I am thinking about...CHERRIES! Lately, I have been hooked on fruit and one of my favorites is cherries. I love how they are sweet and juicy and taste oh sooo good. I have been cutting the cherries in half, taking out the pit, and putting them in a bowl with greek yogurt, granola, a tiny bit of honey, and a couple other choices of fruit. I am in LOVE with eating this for breakfast or lunch (or a smaller portion as a snack). Perfect for summer! The total combination of everything in the bowl ends up being about 8 oz and is a perfect portion.
I knew that cherries were healthy, but I didn't know all the facts, so I decided to look them up. Here are a few things that I found out:

  • Cherries are very high in antioxidants
  • Cherries contain melatonin that help with your sleep patterns
  • Cherries can alleviate pain
Below I am going to add a link for you to check out the website where I found out these ohsohealthy facts.

Do you love cherries? If so how do you eat them? By themselves? In greek yogurt? Let me in on all your OhSoFruity secrets! Please comment below :)
