Most of us snack, so if you’re going to grab something between meals, make sure it’s a great choice. One of the best ways to get into the habit of grabbing something great is to make it easy and quick to grab something as you’re passing through. Few things will accomplish those goals as effortlessly as a fruit bowl on your kitchen table or island.

Beyond the aesthetic appeal of a fruit bowl in your house at all times of the year (it picks you up in winter and fits with the season in summer), keeping a bowl of some basic choices like apples and pears means that you’ll be more likely to grab something good for you rather than reaching into the cookie jar or driving through the fast food lane. Having the fruit bowl in the middle of your kitchen is also a convenient reminder of your daily fruit intake.
