#SnackSquad
It’s that time of year again when Zespri® SunGold kiwifruit is in season in the UK
Summer sees the British public starting to wear lighter clothes again and looking to feel more comfortable in their skin by exercising and eating well. However, according to research by Zespri SunGold kiwifruit, 44% of women say that they are tempted by unhealthy snacks throughout the day, with 29% admitting it’s actually their biggest vice.
To bring this to life, Zespri SunGold has teamed up with LDN Muscle, the fitness social influencers made up of two sets of brothers to create the #SnackSquad campaign.
James Exton of LDN Muscle comments:
“Not only do we understand that real-life can be demanding – balancing work, family, and relationships – but we also know the power of working in a team to achieve objectives. At LDN Muscle, our main aim is to enable anyone to feel and look better, so our goals must be realistic and achievable. Getting regular exercise and replacing unhealthy snacks with tasty alternatives such as yellow kiwifruit is a fantastic starting point, so we’re excited to be encouraging people to change their ways and resist unhealthy snacking temptations.”
As someone who finds it difficult to consume fruits at times, I wanted to discover a new way to include the kiwifruit into my diet. And as a lover of avocado (I mean, what blogger doesn’t love avocado?) I discovered a new recipe which I put to the test asap.
The Kiwi Avocado Salsa Verde is a delicious condiment to many dishes, across every season. As a savoury kinda gal, I have found it works perfectly with pretty much any dish I make, whether that be meat, fish, snacks and even as a salad dressing.
The 100% natural Zespri® SunGold kiwifruit betters 27 other popular fruits to make it one of the most nutritious available. The delicious yellow fleshed kiwifruit contains three times the amount of vitamin C found in oranges, enough to provide a person’s entire daily requirement.
Here’s how you can make a Kiwi Avocado Salsa Verde at home and all by yourself!
