Fruit makes for the perfect post-meal dessert. One with all the sweet goodness you crave, but of course, without the shunned processed sugar and calories of say, a cupcake. Plus, the produce kicks up the flavor of salads<\/a>, makes a plain glass of water<\/a> much<\/em> tastier, and helps keep you hydrated when eaten alone. (Did we mention it\u2019s ripe for major Instagram fodder<\/a> right now, too?)<\/p>\n

The only catch? Getting the recommend two cups of fresh fruit a day \u2014 complete with fiber<\/a>, vitamin C<\/a>, vitamin B<\/a> and potassium \u2014 will require you to change up your sources often. So if you haven\u2019t branched out from your typical crispy apple or hearty banana<\/a> in a while, it\u2019s time to try something new. But how exactly does one cut a pomegranate, you ask?

You\u2019ll also find a little extra insight on meal prep hacks that make dicing a cinch.<\/p>\n

So next time you head to your supermarket, don\u2019t be afraid to snag a whole pineapple<\/a> or even a fresh coconut<\/a>. (They\u2019re so much cheaper compared to the pre-cut packages, too.) After reading this, you\u2019ll be a meal prep pro \u2014 with nature\u2019s prettiest candy ready to go.<\/p>\n
