Add some fresh fruits to your Holiday menu this year...

Christmas is just days away and along with all the goodies we are going to eat, we can still add fresh fruits into the Holiday menu! Check out these 2 recipes:

The first recipe is a super easy and taste apple salad dressing. No preservatives in this one though!

Easy Apple Salad Dressing

• 2 apples, peeled and cored
• 1/4 cup orange juice
• Cinnamon, two shakes
• Ground cloves, one shake

Add all ingredients into a blender.
Blend until smooth.
Pour over salad just before serving.


Juice your own sweet lemonade without any sugar or preservatives! Whip out that juicer you have stored in the cabinet and get to juicing again.

Some blenders are also capable of creating this sweet lemonade recipe. Instead of using a juicer, you can use a heavy duty blender as well. If you are, peel the apples and lemon for better results.

Apple Lemonade

• 4 apples, cored
• ¼ of a lemon, with peel

Press lemon through the juicer and then run the apples through.
It is that simple…fresh, sweet lemonade!

Add some sliced fresh fruit for added flavor and a festive Holiday look!

How do I have a healthy Thanksgiving Holiday?

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! We all deserve a day to enjoy food, family and friends! Here are some easy tips to keep you and your family healthy this Holiday. You can still enjoy the Thanksgiving foods you love…it’s true! You can also get your workout in on Turkey Day! Check out how…

Start the day off right with a healthy breakfast.
Jump start your metabolism by preparing a healthy breakfast filled with protein and healthy fats!  Try eggs with turkey sausage or hot oatmeal with fruits, nuts and seeds. Add some Thanksgiving flavor by adding a dab of pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon to your oatmeal and/or add a tablespoon or two of organic pumpkin puree!

Start a new tradition:  Include a sport or group activity on Thanksgiving Day. 
Have a family football game or just toss the football around in the yard. Another great option is to go for a family walk together…or how about an easy game of tag in the yard? Whatever you decide to do, it will create great memories and allow the family time to bond. In addition, it will get everyone moving and provide a bit of exercise on a day filled with television and food.

Load up on veggies.
Yup…make the veggies the start of the show! Saute some of your favorites in olive oil or bake them in the oven. Veggies are low in fat, calories and cholesterol!

• Serve salad as a first course…Heavy on greens…light on non-veggie add-ins like cheese.
• Try a new veggie recipe that packs flavor without extra calories.

Simple techniques to help keep ourselves and our children healthy

Check out this small list of ways we can keep our children healthy! We can also apply these techniques to our own adult lives as well:

• Never skip breakfast (enough said).
• Snack with purpose. Snack to fill the gap between meals, not just because there is nothing else to do. Snack on healthy foods.
• Beware of potion distortion. Use smaller bowls and cups to help portion control.
• Empty calories are consumed by sugary drinks. Watch the calories and fat in drinks as well as food.
• Eat more whole foods. Packaged foods contain high sodium, calories and fat. Eat fresh foods.
• Set the table. Eat together as a family. Cook with your children.
• Kick the sugar habit. So many of the regular foods we eat have sugar...even bread! Cut back on the amount of sugar we allow our children to consume.

Happy Halloween from Snap Fitness North Raleigh!

Have a safe and fun Halloween!
