I just look forward to discovering new recipes and enjoying the plant based foods that I eat now. I do not miss my old way of eating at all. Food is powerful medicine and tastes great. I hope my posts help you to be healthier and live longer. If your job doesn’t already provide one just buy your own, it’s worth it. It’s awesome and really helps with being able to eat a healthy vegan diet. In my office at work I put my own little refrigerator in. They last about a week at room temperature and 2 weeks in the fridge. They also come in a net mesh bag which rips open easy and makes them easy to carry around. Have you ever tried peeling an orange? Not easy! Mandarin oranges peel easy, the skin practically falls off! That also makes them less messy to eat which is a major plus over the orange. They are so sweet and in my opinion taste better than an orange. I like mandarins for a couple of reasons, of course healthy snack being number one on the list, they also taste great. With eighty percent of the population either overweight, obese, or TOFI (thin on the outside, fat on the inside), mandarins are just what the doctor ordered! These little fruits also can help you with your cholesterol levels helping to lower your LDL levels. Low in calories and fat, they are a great food to help with weight loss. Throw in a little vitamin A, some calcium and fiber and you have a healthy snack. If you eat just 2-3 of them you get more than your daily allowance for vitamin C. Mandarins are very healthy with lots of vitamin C and antioxidants to help fight cancer. It just seems like every time I am in Publix they have the Cuties on sale, but I have tried other brands and they are just fine too. They peel easy, and that makes them an awesome snack for people on the go! Halo or Cuties are just a couple of brand names and it really doesn’t matter if it’s a mandarin, tangerine, or a clementine, they are all pretty much the same. Halo Mandarins or Cuties are really healthy, and have great nutritional value.
