I love bananas because they are an easily portable fruit, they're healthy and they taste great! Bananas are high in both fiber and potassium, which can help aid in weight loss. Bananas also are the only fruit that is a high source of vitamin B6; a single serving has more than 30 percent of the recommended daily amount!

Strawberries also have anti-inflammatory enzymes, which can help heal internal injuries or even tissue damage. Have some strawberries to better your health and boost your metabolism.

I love kiwis because you can eat them from their shell and they have a sweet and sour taste in one! Did you know kiwi fruit is great for weight loss because it is literally filled with fiber? And you may have wondered what those black seeds in kiwi are. All those little black seeds combine for a good dose of insoluble fiber, which aids digestion. But kiwi fruit also offers soluble fiber, providing bulk that promotes the feeling of fullness, which is great for those looking to lose weight. Kiwi is a great super fruit that you should definitely eat!

Although many people stay clear of coconuts because they are high in saturated fats, they don't realize that the saturated fat in coconuts is completely different from the saturated fat that we all try to avoid. For example coconut oil is is a fat that is made up of medium chain fatty acids that and is not stored in our bodies as fat!

Orange is a really great metabolism booster which is high in vitamin C, thiamin and folate. However don't make a mistake of substituting orange juice for real oranges because they do not have the same nutritional value. Oranges contain a lot less calories and they provide you with fiber which is not present in its juice form. Believe it or not but one cup of orange has only 85 calories and 5 grams of dietary fiber. You will definitely benefit from this healthy fruit.
