Written By Judy Doherty, MPS, PCII
Most people require 2 cups of fruit per day. Show how easy it is to get 2 cups of fruit per day.
Have a contest to ask how people are meeting their requirements - they can provide their strategies and be eligible for a raffle. It is also fun if they share fruit dessert recipes or you can print the fruit dessert recipes from this issue.Here are some fun combos:- 1 banana for breakfast, 1 bowl of strawberries for dessert- 1 orange for breakfast, 1 apple for snack- 1 cup melon at lunch, 1 fruit smoothie for dessertCheck out the calorie difference in canned fruits. Compare calories on cans of fruit with syrup versus cans of fruit packed in water or juice. Calorie differences for these two items are pretty significant. It might be interesting to see if they can guess the difference before you tell them.

Judy Doherty, MPS, PCII discovered her love of cooking at her grandmother's side, stirring raisin oatmeal on a Saturday morning. By 15 she had her first food service job. At 18 she was accepted to the Culinary Institute of America, where she graduated second in her class, then went on to the Fachschule Richemont in Switzerland to study pastry arts and baking. A decade with Hyatt Hotels followed before she founded Food and Health Communications with a single conviction: food that is good for you should taste extraordinary.

Judy holds a Master of Professional Studies in Food Business from the Culinary Institute of America, a Bachelor of Science in Culinary Arts from Johnson and Wales University (Summa Cum Laude), two art certificates from UC Berkeley Extension, and the CIA's Pro Chef II certification. She has earned the American Culinary Federation Bronze Medal, Gold Medal, and ACF Chef of the Year award.

Today she develops every recipe on this site, shoots and styles food through her food photography and motion studio, and publishes nutrition education materials for dietitians, schools, extension offices, and health professionals through nutritioneducationstore.com. She uses the latest nutritional science and Dietary Guidelines to drive her creativity — whether that means a new twist on fajitas or Italian brownies made with toasted nuts and cooked honey. Her mission has never changed: help everyone make food that tastes as good as it is for them.
