Weight Watcher Wednesday: Fruit I'm Loving

This week, I've been loving a couple of my favorite fruits:

*Blackberries:  1 cup = 1 WW point, plus Vitamin C, magnesium, and antioxidants. 
*Pomegranates:  1 cup = 2 WW points, plus antioxidants and potassium.

So simple, so natural, so sweet. 



I especially love pomegranates.  Contrary to popular belief, you can in fact eat the arils (seeds) whole.  They don't hurt you, and if you want to get really honest, they provide the body with roughage.  I eat them in a bowl with a spoon, plain, like cereal, and usually buy the seeds which are prepackaged in the refridgerated section of the grocery store.
I wait for pomegranate season all year.  It will be sad to see them go.
