Local Farmers Markets

This morning, I got this delicious Soyogurt at Whole Foods Brentwood to snack on and checked out the Farmers Market. Talked to the vendors about my blog and took pictures. It was still early, so I got to browse around freely without having to fight the crowd. I walked over from my home with Sparky, but had to tie her to a tree because they don't let dogs in the Market. Tasted free samples of yummy chocolate, Just This fruit bars, fresh fruits, juices and Brothers Spreads and Tapenade. Bought 3 cartons of different flavored spreads because they're so good. Would love to share a booth and pass out free health and fitness information each Sunday. Left some Fit-Twist business cards with the vendors. The guy at Brothers Products is a nice young man who clearly loves what he does because he got me to try the variety of spreads/ tapenade and the stuff sold themselves.

1. Garlic Spread made with garlic, lemon juice, olive oil and salt.

2. Lebneh/ Herbs with yogurt, herbs, olive oil and salt.

3. Olives Tapenade with green and black olives, spices, olive oil.

12103 Brookhurst St, Garden Grove, CA 92840

Will return to Brentwood Farmers Market next Sunday and talk to more vendors.

I also visited the Market on Ocean Park & Main St, but that one wasn't as friendly to outsiders like me. They told me I couldn't leave my flyers at any stalls. I won't go back there except for Sno:la yogurt because I love the chocolate fro-yo and Masako is a very nice lady.

Summer Fruits

Summer is a great time to enjoy everything the season has to offer, including an abundance of fresh, tasty fruits and vegetables according to the CDC.

• They provide essential vitamins, minerals, fiber and other nutrients that are important for good health.

• Compared to people who eat only small amounts, those who eat more generous amounts of fruits and veggies as part of a healthy diet are more likely to have a reduced risk of chronic diseases. These diseases include stroke, type 2 diabetes, some types of cancer, perhaps heart disease and high blood pressure. 

• Most fruits and veggies are naturally low in fat and calories, so substituting them for high-calorie foods can be a calorie-reducing strategy. To learn more about their role in weight management, visit How to Use Fruits and Vegetables to Help Manage Your Weight.
