I'll start: pesto as a bagel topping.

I eat prunes daily. some people think it's a laxative for old people. sure, there's fiber in them and fiber helps you stay regular but just the same as eating most fruit. prunes are just dried plums and they're delicious

Prune juice is good too

Prunes are sorely under-appreciated in my opinion! I don’t eat them often, but my family has a tradition of making prune pierogi sautéed in an onion butter sauce for special occasions and it is an absolute sweet-savory delight. I look forward to them all year.

It's not only the fibre in prunes that helps your digestion -- the 'sorbitol' also acts as a laxative.

I eat prunes every morning myself. In my defense, I am one of those old people.
