Thanks! 🙂

Hi Beth! Thanks for writing and I’m so happy to hear you’ve been liking the recipes!! 🙂 You’re right for noticing…I don’t include a lot of fruit in my diet because of the sugar. I also try and focus on more veggies, as they have just as much nutrition as fruit, but not all the extra sugars. While I don’t think having a piece or two of fruit per day is bad (there are a lot worse options out there), having them after a workout for example is great, as it helps to replace the glycogen you lose. 🙂 Hope that answers your question!

I’ve been following and loving your blog for about two years now, and I figured it was about time I comment! First off, thank you for the awesome recipes. I’ve made several of your protein bar and dinner recipes, and many of them have become go-tos for my husband and I!

Second, I have a question that comes from your WIAW posts, as well as the sample daily menus you posted a while back — I’ve just noticed that you don’t tend to include a lot of fresh fruits in your diet. I was wondering if that’s intentional (from a nutritional standpoint), or just coincidental. I’ve heard some conflicting ideas on the benefits of fruit (everyone agrees that the nutrients in fresh fruit are awesome, but I’ve heard some say that the sugar in fruit can be detrimental). I was just wondering about your take on that.

Thanks!! 🙂
