Hello, night owls, I welcome you all to my blog. I was happy when I saw this community through a #snaps post by @ravenmus1c, where she talked about designing the community logo theme and wanting an honest opinion of what we thought about it. I ran to the main post to check it out and since then I've been following up, waiting for the perfect time to share something interesting and it is now with this interesting #prompt for this week, my go to midnight snack.

Fruit-veggie is always my favorite snack, and I don't joke with it even at 1 am. My love for fruits and vegetables grew after I spent time with my aunt to look after her because she had surgery. One of the things the doctor told her was that she would heal quickly because her system was clean due to her intake of fruits and vegetables. My aunt can wake you up by 2 am to go prepare her fruits if you forget or think it's too late that she won't eat it. She doesn't joke with it, and she would always remind me to get it ready and place it in the fridge for her before I go to bed. So, I started preparing an extra plate for myself as well. I would stay up late on my phone, chatting, doing video calls, or watching a movie with my fruits with me. It became a habit for me that I must always retire with a plate of mixed fruit and veggies.

Today, i'm no longer with my aunt. Now, in my own home, i've introduced the same concept to my husband, and he always looks forward to our night chat and bonding time with our fruits. The freshness, the unique taste of each fruit, and the cruchiness at each bite always send an exciting message to the brain. The chats and chatters as we gist, laugh at even the dumbest scenes of Nigerian movies, are memories that I would always hold on to because they are special moments, ones dear to my heart.

My night is certainly incomplete without this fruit-veggie bowl, and I love them mixed with at least three to six different fruits and vegetables. My apple or banana are always the last to eat. I always start with the less sweet ones like garden eggs, cucumber is always the next, then carrots or lectuce, then the sweet ones come last, the oranges, apples and bananas.

I also ensure to leave only seeds behind. I'm so happy to share my favorite midnight snack with you all. Thanks, @midnightletters, @samostically, for this community and interesting weekly prompt, and I would like to invite some friends @iquo @amara24 @handsome44 to share their own midnight snack they can't do without.
