I love all of the listed fruits . I don't eat a lot of fresh veg however. Ironically, my Doc has told me to "sparingly ,( if at all ) consume most of the melon's and berries to lessen my sugar intake. 'Taint fair!

Hi Hidden ,

It's good to hear that your doctor has suggested that you eat the berries and melons for better blood sugar/carb. control. I also like a lot of the berries and melons along with a few other fruits and vegetables listed/not listed in the list for the poll.

Recently, I had a berry-peanut combo. for a dessert last week. It was a parfait in a bowl. Really good. It was a blueberry/blackberry/raspberry combo. mix with the peanuts scattered around. That was really healthy and cool for a warm evening's night. :-)

I've been making smoothies to get someone cool and get my fruits in.

Smoothies are a great way to get your fruits and vegetables for the day. I have smoothies for lunch now and then, too. :-)

My answers pertain to my husband rather than me, and generally speaking he just loves vegetables and things like watermelon. But I had to laugh to see mushrooms there. He desperately hates them and can detect a tiny slice which has made its way into his portion, when I've been eating them. He thinks they are devil's food and that's such a shame as I love them!

Hi Sue,

Thank you for letting me know that about the mushrooms. They are one of my favorite things to have on a salad now and then when we have them in the house.

Watermelon is one of my favorite Summer fruits to eat when we have a cookout/party. :-)
