Hello my dear friends of Foodies Bee Hive! How are you all today? I hope we are all in good health. Today I wanna share with you all my Nutritious and Creamy Fruit salad to beat the heat of summer, using all fresh fruits that are very good for our body with lots of health benefits. This is very easy to make salad but it was yummy and creamy that you would surely love.
It is summer time now here in the Philippines. The sun shines so bright that it makes me want to go a swimming pool or to the beach but I was too busy and no time for now to do it because we are living in a place where no nearby swimming pool or a beach . I have decided to buy fresh fruits for salad. Since it just came into my mind and only Cheese I have on my refrigerator then I should go find and buy it the market. First to the fruit stand but there was no Buko availabe in the fruit stand so I still drive and search for the Buko until I saw stands that sell BUKO. Luckily I was able to buy all the fruits in the market that I desired for my fresh fruit salad.
Let us know first what are the health benefits to our bodies of eating all these fresh fruits and the rest of the ingredients.
One ingredient of my Salad was Star apple(CAIMITO) in the Philippines. It was called star apple because the seed of this fruit is shaped like a star.There is white variety and a purple variety. Caimito or Star apple is nutritious, contains calcium, phosphorus, ascorbic acid ( vitamin C) and a good source of antioxidants. Star apple is a seasonal fruit here in the Philippines. It is good to eat this fruit with no mixture but also can me mixed to other fruits and make it into fruit salad.
Watermelon is good for digestion, boosts immunity, skin health, keeps you hydrated, prevents cancer, eye health, relieves muscle soreness, helps prevent kidney and strengthens bones.
Buko meat or young coconut meat offers lots of health benefits like improved digestion, weight loss support due to fiber content and a good source of essential minerals like iron,copper and manganese.
Avocado is considered the complete food and contains the good fat called monounsaturated fat and polyunsaturated fats that is good for the body and is good to eat to lower cholesterol and lower the risk of diseases. It also prevents Cancer,with potassium, vitamin E,good for vision,bone health, digestive health, manages body weight, brain health,reduces inflammation, it has magnesium, helps mental health and heart health.
Cheese is calcium good for strong bones, improved digestive functions and dental health.
Kremdensada is a mixture of condensed milk and a creamer. Milk is calcium good for your health. I choose KREMDENSADA because for me I like the taste not so sweet and just enough for my taste.
