Great Grapes!

Goodness, gracious—grapes are in season! And they’re not just yummy, they’re oh-so-good for you, too. Grapes offer a bunch of health benefits, from helping battle cancer to bolstering cardiovascular function. Gobble ‘em up in these delicious ways:

 

·        Toss seedless grapes into your green salad to add a sweet crunch. They add crispy goodness to chicken, shrimp, and tuna salad, too. 

·        Serve fruit kabobs for desserts. Skewer grapes, banana slices, whole strawberries, and pineapple chunks. Drizzle with honey, lime juice, and allspice, and set ‘em on a warm grill to heat them through.

·        Ditch the candy dish and replace it with a bowl of grapes. Here’s betting you’ll pop a few in your mouth every time you walk by.

·        Whip up this simple frosty treat that’s packed with flavor. It tastes so yummy that you’ll forget it’s good for you:

 

In a blender, whirl 1 cup of fat-free frozen cherry yogurt and ½ cup of purple grape juice until creamy smooth. Garnish with a cluster of purple grapes, still on the stem, and serve with a wide straw.
