Fruits are the quintessential healthy snack. Full of simple carbs, vitamin C, fiber, natural sugar, and other wonderful ingredients, there’s a plethora of benefits to eating fruit. Using them as ingredients in your recipes or smoothies is an easy way to stay healthy, even on the go. That’s why we include them in our Fuel For Fire fruit smoothies. Still, nothing beats a fresh fruit off the produce shelf.  

The Healthiest Fruits

There are over 2,000 types of fruit, and some are better than others. These are some of the healthiest fruits you can add to your grocery list:

Bananas

These fruits are the highest in potassium of any fruit, an excellent ingredient for athletes looking to stave off cramps or hunger. Ripe bananas have easily digestible carbs, perfect for a before-workout snack, and are one of the best fruits for weight loss. Not to mention the high concentration of minerals like vitamin B6, vitamin C, and magnesium.

Apples

Rich in both insoluble and soluble fiber, these colorful fruits help you manage blood sugar levels. Research also shows they promote good digestion, and heart and gut health. They’re super easy to take on the go, with a longer shelf life than most fruits.

Strawberries

In addition to being a good source of healthy sugar, vitamin C, folate, and manganese, this healthy fruit has antioxidants like flavonoids and phenolic acids. Nutrients like ellagitannins can help reduce the risk of chronic diseases, according to several studies. 

Blueberries

One of the lowest-carb fruits, there is much research to support the health benefits of these small berries. Their anthocyanins lead to a lower risk of type 2 diabetes, heart disease, obesity, and other health issues.

Mangoes

Sometimes called “the king of fruits,” mangoes are particularly high in mangiferin, a strong antioxidant. This nutrient can protect your body from heart disease, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and other forms of cancer.
