Fruit Salads

With the warm weather approaching, I use too always enjoy a nice cold fruit salad. Can we have fresh salads?

Personally, I don't know why we couldn't have fruit salad. i think that they taste soooo goooood! Now you got me wanting some! I would say that as long you get the protein in what is the difference? Does anyone know if I am wrong?

Thanks Brenda, I hope you're right I just had a small cup

jus****ch your carbs and sugars

I'm no expert but from the info I've been collecting on the board I would suggest adding alittle high protein yogurt (like fage) and alittle sweetner instead of cool whip but if you already have all your protein in, a small fruit salad should not be a prob. Enjoy one for me!  Alice

Hmmm, that sounds like a good idea. I have some bananas, some kiwi fruit and some apples at home. That'll do me or I'll overdose on the sugars!!

********** YUMMM..... fruit salad does sound good. A little cup will go along way... I wonder if a few bites of cold chicken with it (not in it) would give it the protein needed. Before WLS I would add lemon or lime yogurt for tang.... sometimes I would add a touch of cinnamon too. I can't have fresh fruit yet... but soon... How about slivered almonds?? not sure on those. I'm beginning to salivate...LOL best go eat... Millie

Hi Millie J...Idon't know about the almonds, lastime I tried them my PoohPouch didn't like it.  I have seen the Grilled Chicken salads in McDonald's with Mandarin orange pieces in them I might give that a try...it really looks good.
