Oranges

GO BIG ORANGE!!!!  Okay, even if you aren’t a Tennessee Vols fan you can STILL agree that oranges are amazing for you!  They are another one of those perfect “on the go” snacks!  They are packed with antioxidants and phytonutrients (both of which help you keep a healthy immune system and fight off all of the bad stuff!).  One orange gives you 140 percent of your daily value of vitamin C, and the juice of the orange gives an even higher percentage, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.  Oranges also contain complex sugars, which will satisfy your sugar cravings in a healthy way! 
 
Oranges can be added to many different dishes and drinks as well as served as a stand along snack! It even makes a delicious healthy dessert! Simply slice your oranges in half and put them on a baking dish. Drizzle honey over them and sprinkle with just a touch of cinnamon. Bake in an oven on 350 degrees, just long enough to heat them (5-10 mins). Delicious! So if you’re at the store this weekend, grab some oranges! It’s the perfect summer treat!

Have a WONDERFUL weekend!!!
