Mandarin oranges are the perfect cravings buster! They are sweet, portable, low in calories, and packed with nutrition! They contain vitamin C which can support a healthy immune system, cognition as you age, and the integrity of your skin. They also contain carotenoids that protect your skin and contribute to eye health. The fiber in a mandarin can help you to feel full, and contributes to a vibrant microbiome which has an impact on your digestion, cholesterol regulation, mood, and more!
Not only will a mandarin quiet your cravings, but it will help you feel good, and will fill you up with great nutrients without filling you out.
Next time you have a sugar craving, reach for fruit. Then do something else. Check in with yourself 15-20 minutes later to see if the craving went away.
