Fruits get a bad rap from folks on low carb meal plans, like the Atkins or keto diets. However, there are some low carb options that let you have sweet, natural treats while boosting weight loss.
Here are five low carb fruits to enjoy at work this spring.
1. Strawberries Are Healthy Snack Options
Tart and tangy, strawberries make the perfect topper for breakfast or a stand-alone healthy snack. Add them to your smoothie, yogurt, sugar-free cheesecake, and more. Strawberries are also bursting with flavor and many health benefits. For example, the Vitamin C in this fruit boosts immunity and helps fight infections.
Get freeze-dried strawberries stocked in your Lake Charles vending machine or add seasonal fruit cups to your food lineup. Then employees can buy them whenever they want.
2. Raspberries, Blackberries, and Blueberries, Oh My!
Want other berry options? Don’t worry; there are plenty to choose from! Raspberries and blackberries are low carb fruits. Blueberries, too. Plus, all three are great snacks and drink flavors. Try freezing them and adding them to your water. This adds instant flavor and benefits like antioxidants.
3. Lemon. Lime. Love.
Two more low carb options that boost the taste of your water are lemons and limes. They are especially delicious with DeRidder filtered office water. That’s because a water filter installed in your break room removes chemical tastes and odors. Thus, the flavors of the fruit shine through.
While we don’t suggest eating lemons on their own, their juice adds some kick to your salad. Or, try a lime in your diet soda or sparkling water for a citrus twist.
4. Olive You Glad You Chose Low Carb Fruits?
Olives are another healthy snack easy to enjoy at the office. And yes, they are a fruit. Add any variety to salads and sandwiches, or enjoy olives by themselves. Olives are loaded with Vitamin E, which supports heart health.
5. Cuckoo for Coconuts
Lastly, coconuts are drupes that add a tropical twist to your drinks and snacks. Stocked in a well-designed Lake Charles micro market, you will find them dried and ready to snack on. Coconut is great plain, or add it to something else, such as your oatmeal. This food is high in fiber, which promotes digestive health. Coconuts are also rich in lauric acid, which protects your heart.
