ADORA TIP OF THE MONTH!
Power Up With Prunes
 Prunes have gotten such a bad rap that they were renamed to “dried plums” to encourage more people to give them a try. Whatever you call them, they make a fantastic snack. In addition to containing both kinds of fiber (soluble and insoluble), they also include a host of minerals including boron and potassium which studies show can actually improve bone strength. Like Dark Chocolate Adora Calcium, dried plums are also loaded with antioxidants. Pair a handful of prunes (I mean, dried plums) with your daily Adora Calcium for the ultimate bone boost. Check out an easy way to get dried plums into your diet with this Cooking Tip
