Healthy eating in Bocas del Toro

Here is the current selection of fruits on our counter.

It is a treat to have truly fresh fruit here.  When you stop by the fruit stand, all the fruit has been grown locally and picked ripe.  Compared to much of the fruit we receive in the U.S. --which has been picked green, sprayed with pesticides, and then treated with chemicals to artificially ripen later-- the local fruit is sweet and very full-flavored!

I have developed the habit of making a fruit smoothy most mornings for breakfast... ice, orange juice, and any random combination of bananas, papaya, mango, passion fruit, pineapple, or whatever is fresh at the fruit vendor :)

The three round fruits in the middle of the picture next to the watermelon are passion fruit, a delicious tropical treat!  The two fruits on the end are mangos which grow quite large here in Panama and Costa Rica, sometimes as big as cantaloupes.

In line with Jehovah's promise in Isaiah 65:21 that we will "plant vineyards and eat their fruitage" I imagine a day when all people will have fresh, healthy, and delicious food in abundance like this.  My only question is: Will I have a blender so I can still make my morning smoothies?
