This is a great idea! We’ve all heard “Out of sight, out of mind”, well the opposite is indeed true, too! A couple weeks ago I started putting fruit on the table on a 3 tier stand I had – it was cluttering up the smaller counter space that I had for it, and what do you know? The kids are eating a lot more of it – ok, we all are eating a lot more!

i hide my fruit in a variety of places hoping to get it to last a whole week! It never quite works as they usually can find it fast! Fruit is a treat though here!

This is one “trick” that seems to work well for us too. If I keep us stocked with fruits/veggies out in the open or as soon as they open the fridge that’s what they are very happy eating. I got tired of monitoring the crap they wanted to climb into on the top pantry shelf!

That’s the exactly why I can’t keep chocolate or biscuits on display – my consumption triples if it is in my line of sight.

We do this too. But with a four year old running around, I often come across a piece of fruit with a bite out of it, neatly tucked back in, of course. lol!

Pretty Picture!

I love your arrangement!

I keep fruit and small carrots on the shelf that is most visible in the frig sometimes it helps!

I’m going to try leaving a few pieces out

I need to start doing this again instead of just putting the bananas out.

I agree about keeping fruit out. I try to at least have a bowl of apples out at all times. Hmm… I’m down to 3 apples, better get some more!

We do this too. I have multiple fruit bowls (we eat a lot of fruit)… maybe some apples on the table and some oranges in the family room. The colors are so bright and pretty they can add life to any diet, and stop the sugary snacking. My only problem is keeping the bowls full! Beautiful picture!

We started that a couple of months ago – works great! I am more of a vegetable-person, though. But my fiancee at least doubled his amount of fruit (and he already ate A LOT before we had put it onto the dinner-table).
I really enjoy your blog, it’s very inspirational. Thanks for your work!
