👉In this week’s Nutrivore Newsletter, we talked about bromelain as a unique and beneficial phytonutrient found almost exclusively in pineapple; why pineapple is good for us and what causes that stingy sensation in our mouths when we eat it; the science proving that fruit is not just “nature’s candy” but a foundational food group that we don’t want to miss out on; the “sweet spot” for fruit consumption so we get the most health benefits; and I shared my recipe for Pineapple and Lychee Granita.

Because this week’s Free Newsletter talked about the independent benefits of fruit, I want to share this downloadable handy-dandy 1-page summary of Nutrient Highlights in Fruit as a perk for my paid subscribers. And, because pineapple is a particularly interesting fruit thanks to its bromelain content, I’m sharing one of my favorite ways to enjoy pineapple, a downloadable version of my recipe for Pineapple and Lychee Granita.

📥Just for paid subscribers, your Companion Downloads this week are:

  • Nutrients in Fruit - This 1-pager PDF guide highlights key nutrients in fruit and their benefits, to give you a quick-reference for why two or three daily servings of fruit is so good for you.

  • Pineapple and Lychee Granita Recipe - A beautifully-designed PDF version of this week’s recipe that you can save or print out, to build your own personalized Nutrivore Cookbook week by week.
