Yummy Fruits 

1 - Don't forget to consume fruits like apples, applesauce, grapefruit, and oranges.
2 - Complement your cereal, oatmeal, granola, pancakes, toast, waffles, or yogurt with bananas, blueberries, or strawberries.
3 - Snacks during the day may consist of: baby carrots, cauliflower, celery, cucumber slices, or red pepper strips dipped in hummus or salad dressing. Also try grapes, raisins dried fruits like apricots, cherries, cranberries, dates, and figs.
4 - Have cleaned and prepared portions of your most consumed fresh produce at eye-level when you open your refridgerator door.
5 - Have your family's favorite fresh fruit available on the kitchen contertop or table in view.
6 - Mix apples, coconut, bananas, blueberries, papaya, pineapple, strawberries, and/or mangos with a little orange juice for a fruit salad. Some fruits freeze very well. After cleaning your fruit, mix fresh bananas, blueberries, grapes, or strawberries, and toss them into a freezer bag or container to be put into the freezer.
7 - Once frozen you can add them to drinks, smoothies, cereal, oatmeal, yogurt, or just eat them plain.
8 - With or without ice, blend yogurt, kefir, banana, blueberries, oranges, papaya, pineapples, strawberries, or more, add cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, mint, or more. Discover your favorite combinations. You could also add your favorite protein powder for a meal on the go.

To me, fruit is like nature's candy. If you can't get certain fresh fruit during the winter months, there are some decent frozen fruits to use in smoothies, etc.
