I fast regularly.... On every Thursday, Sankashti chaturthi, Ekadashi. People eat sabudana, chips or cooked fast food. But I prefer to have only fruits. I tried Black Jamun Apple Drink, Strawberry Yoghurt, Grapefruit and Green Apple Salad, Sweet Lime and Kiwi Juice over last month on my fasting days. Lovely ideas to enjoy fruits with nice informative diet tips. This will definitely keep me healthy & fit.
