If fruit is still a problem for you, then why not:

• make smoothies – put some berries in a blender with milk, yoghurt and ice and then whizz together
• make a fabulous fruit salad – cardamon citrus fruit salad , summer fruit compote , or what about a dried fruit salad ?
• use in salads, like a smashed green olive&grapefruit salad , or roasted beetroot salad with blueberry vinaigrette
• if you get the 3 o’clock sugar craving then have a piece of fruit first, before the lollies
• grate an apple and mix in with your morning muesli
• if you don’t want to fiddle about with fruit yourself, then try and buy a fruit salad each day
• if you’re craving something sweet after dinner then try a couple of dates, or a bowl of fruit with some yoghurt
• toast some fruit bread (or a fruit muffin), spread with ricotta, sliced strawberries (or blueberries or banana) and a drizzle of maple syrup

Any more suggestions?
