Virginia apples, pre-packaged
in nature's own wrapper, are the perfect take-along foods for on-the-go
teens and adults. With more than one-third of US adolescents overweight
and with many more worried about it, the 80 calorie apple can be a delicious
part of a nutritious weight control program.
Virginia apples contain
no cholesterol, fat or sodium. They are high in complex carbohydrates
and also contain Vitamin C and potassium with calcium, iron, carotenoids
such as Vitamin A, thiamin, magnesium and phosphorus.

| Substitute apple slices for jelly on peanut butter
sandwiches. |
Freeze applesauce, then whip it in a blender for an
apple "slushie". |
Freeze individual serving boxes of apple juice and
put into bag lunch to keep other food cool. The apple juice will thaw
by lunch time. |
