Free fruit is coming your way! Every Friday from May to November, Go Healthy NY will be hosting Free Fruit Fridays to encourage New Yorkers to adopt a healthier diet and lifestyle. The Go Healthy New York fruit truck will be traveling throughout the five boroughs, giving away a delicious variety of fruit, vegetables, smoothies, and healthy snacks. For the start of the program today, the fruit truck is on Houston Street across from Whole Foods.

Given the fact that they’ll be giving away free healthy food, they probably won’t have any problems attracting customers, but to sweeten the deal, they are offering special giveaways and prizes at the food truck. Plus, they’ll be recruiting different celebrities, chefs, and athletes for surprise appearances — so you could have the chance to slurp smoothies with your favorite famous New Yorker! Check out the schedule (through July) below to see when the Go Healthy food truck will be visiting your neighborhood.

Go Healthy NY is part of GE’s Healthymagination campaign, partnering with NBC and other affiliates in an effort to make NYC the healthiest city in American. You can read more about the campaign by visiting their Facebook page, or by visiting their blog on NBC for some great advice on healthy living.
