RECIPE
A KiwiStrawberry
Mix!
We are about to undergo a seasonal change, and with
it a change in climate. That’s why doctors recommend
that we eat foods rich in vitamin C, since they help our
immune system to combat these abrupt changes.
Oranges and lemons, of course, are rich in this vitamin,
but nevertheless, so are kiwis and strawberries.
Did you know?
* The kiwi is not only one of the fruits with the highest
concentrations of vitamin C, it also contains lutein, a
phytochemical compound that reduces the risk of cancer;
it also prevents cardiovascular diseases and muscular
degeneration. It contains more potassium than a banana
and is rich in vitamin E, folic acid and magnesium.
Furthermore, it helps in regulating arterial pressure.
* The strawberry, apart from containing ascorbic acid,
also contains lecithin and pectin, making it a good ally for
the reduction of cholesterol in the blood.
Let’s Prepare Kiwi and Strawberry Skewers!!
Here is a practical way to enjoy both fruits.
What do you need?
*A few wooden skewers
* Kiwis and strawberries
Now, let’s start... Don’t forget to disinfect the
strawberries; once they are ready, cut them into pieces
and in the desired shape. Cubes are a good choice,
but they can be anything. Repeat the process with the
peeled kiwis. Next, skewer the fruits alternatively. (And
if you want, you can also add other fruit and chocolate
chips). And... we’re finished! This is how easy it is to make
a delicious and healthy dessert for yourself or to surprise
your loved ones.
