Dehydrated Refried Beans: Wait, Say What...?

-

 When it comes to dehydrated fruits found in trail mix, dehydrated strawberries are noticeably absent. We can find raisins and bananas, but no strawberries.

So should you add dehydrated strawberries to your own homemade trail mix? Or are they a waste of space? I’ve tried dehydrated strawberries in trail mix, and there really wasn’t a noticeable difference.


This is a highly noticeable absence. When cowboys rode along the trails in the United States, they surely passed strawberries along the way. It is HIGHLY doubtful, actually impossible, that a cowboy passed any banana trees in the wild, wild west. For whatever reason, bananas get an inclusion while strawberries get a pass.

Bananas have had their place in the United States since the 19th century. They are a staple of the fruit and vegetable markets. They have been featured in many books and movies. They have even appeared as gag props in some of the funniest movies.

Oh well, maybe a cowboy or the modern weekend warrior would lose a bit of manly, man luster if he was caught eating strawberries.

Dehydrated Refried Beans Now, dehydrated strawberries could be a sneaky way of getting some strawberry sustenance, but they still don’t find their way into trail mix. Oh well.

Thats what is so cool about these bars. Theres no way of knowing what kind of fruits are hiding in the mix until you bite in. The mix of sweet and salty is a good one for trail mix.
Now, those out there who do enjoy dehydrated strawberries do so without worrying about what a bunch of would-be tough guys would think about. They just happen to enjoy eating their dehydrated strawberries because dehydrated strawberries not only taste good, but they are also good for you. That, in and of itself, is one seriously good endorsement.

A Good Source of Vitamins and Minerals As with most fruits and vegetables, strawberries are also a good source of vitamins and minerals. The vitamins and minerals found in strawberries include vitamin C, vitamin A, vitamin E, vitamin K and calcium.

In addition, strawberries are a good source of dietary fiber. Dietary fiber is essential for proper digestion, and it also helps to lower blood cholesterol levels. Health Benefits There are many health benefits of strawberries.

They contain anthocyanin, a compound that’s responsible for their bright red color that’s also a powerful anti-oxidant.

Now, the more educated among the dehydrated strawberry fans realize that the best dehydrated strawberries to eat are those that are organic. While some may mock the organic food movement these days, the reality is that organic food free of additives and impurities is much better for you than the additive ridden food varieties that are normally found on store shelves. And, besides, cowboys ate all organic. Well, the one that lived two hundred years ago did, anyways.

So, if you want to partake in a fine tasting snack, reach for a handful of strawberries. Now, when you do that, be sure to reach for the organic variety as they are far better for you than the glorified junk food variety filled with additives.

 Frozen vegetables can be a great way to add veggies to your meal, especially if you don't have fresh vegetables on hand.

Frozen Fruit Smoothies For Your Health

 One of the biggest challenges of healthy eating is saying no to all of the quick and easy high carbohydrate and high calorie meals that just don't offer many good nutrients. Fruit is one of the best things for us because they are packed with vitamins that are natural and easy for our body to process. Fruits are used in the detox process of a juicing diet. They are able to aid in digestion and in the excretion of unwanted toxins. They have enzymes and vitamins that work to balance out the liver's natural processes and detoxify the blood. But as great as fruit is, it can be hard to get our daily servings that our body needs. Luckily there is an alternative and that is to drink frozen fruit smoothies. You can buy frozen fruit, but the quality and taste is not as great as when you freeze the fruit yourself. To freeze the fruit, you first make a sweet syrup by combining sugar and water. Then you combine the syrup with the fruit and freeze. Vitamins Fruits are some of the high...

Frozen Fruit Treat Maker Helps Conquer Sugar Cravings

 Spring is in the air, friends are getting married and this time I know exactly what to get for them. The happy couple are both diabetic and both like sweets and desserts which makes them a perfect fit for a frozen fruit treat maker! The shock of having to go from normal diet to zero sugar in a week (or less), is profound. My husband really struggled to stay cheerful as one by one the old favorites vanished off his plate. No more sticky caramel sponge, or white chocolate cream cheese, no more rich sweet ice creams with boozy combinations. In fact, as he put it no more foodie fun. The reality sunk in over a couple of weeks, even breakfast of homemade bread toasted with marmalade was out, forget normal marmalade it's loaded with sugar. Most breakfast cereals have added sugar, check on the side of the box and you'll be in for a nasty surprise as there's very few with low enough sugar to qualify as diabetic friendly. I won't run through the whole day's meals and how...
