Peaches are a summertime staple and they’re the perfect snack to help manage your weight.
Packed with a great deal of nutrients — including vitamin A, niacin and potassium — peaches have few calories and no fat. They're also an excellent source of fiber and ideal for keeping cholesterol low. When paired with raspberries, you’ll receive a dose of vitamin K, vitamin C and magnesium.
