Today's Phenomenal Food is:
Raspberries!
I love, love, love raspberries! They're so small, yet so flavorful. I just wish they weren't so expensive. I love the texture of the seeds in them and the extra little kick of flavor and texture they give to my breakfast shakes. According to an article called 7 Fat Loss Superfoods That Live Up to Their Hype from www.huffingtonpost.com, "Blueberries hog the spotlight, but raspberries are actually higher in fiber: One cup provides a whopping 8 grams. One study found you probably get about half the fiber you should, and on a lower-carb diet even less. Fiber's benefits include balanced glucose (blood sugar) levels and satiation to reduce hunger and cravings. Raspberries are a nutrient-dense, low-fructose fruit that make a healthy dessert and give a pleasant zing to protein shakes." I'll definitely have to buy some more fresh or frozen ones to throw into my morning protein shakes!
