Everybody is feeling green today. It's St. Patrick's Day, and whether you agree or not, you're an honorary Irishman (smile). So, kick back and enjoy the day with this delightful, Energetic Kiwi-Pineapple Salsa recipe. What's so energetic about it? The little mean, green powerhouse kiwi! As I mentioned on Friday, just 2 of these guys is only 100 calories, has more potassium than a banana, more Vitamin C than an orange and more fiber than a bowl full of bran flakes. They are the perfect on-the-go snack that can give you a energy boost anytime of the day. They also are very delicious and versatile when it comes to cooking and baking. Try this salsa recipe with the kale chips I told you about yesterday and wow your family and friends. They probably won't realize the combo is so good for them because they taste awesome!
Ingredients
- 2 (8-oz.) cans pineapple tidbits, drained (you can use fresh pineapple too if you like)
- 2 kiwifruit, peeled and diced
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon minced jalapeño pepper
- Salt to taste
- Stir together first 5 ingredients; add salt to taste.
Food for thought:
This recipe is really, really low in calories. So don't sweat it. Just eat it! It's all about getting good things in your body and eating until you're almost full, not miserable. Drink water before and after your meal/snacks. Not during. You'll get fuller faster, stay fuller longer and not want to crunch and munch on unhealthy, sugary, salty and fatty foods.
