9 Reasons to Eat (and Love) Apples

  2. They’re the perfect low-calorie, fat-free, high fiber, flavorful, sweet, crunchy, juicy, satisfying snack for any time of day
  3. They can be an effective 3pm pick-me-up coffee alternative
  4. They are an excellent flavor in baking and cooking
  5. They’re awesome in salads
  6. They’re fun to eat- whole or cut up into slices (and sometimes dipped in peanut butter)
  7. There are so many different varieties you can never get bored
  8. They have antioxidants, vitamin C and B-complex vitamins [source]
