Why This Wellness Creator Swears By Zespri™ SunGold™ Kiwifruit To Deliver Her Daily Nutrients

Wellness creator Samantha Feher likes to keep it simple. In a world overflowing with wellness trends, supplements, and conflicting nutritional advice, her approach is rooted in real food. “My wellness philosophy is all about eating eighty percent single-ingredient foods. You can have your treats once in a while, but I try to follow the 80/20 rule.”Naturally, fruits and vegetables are at the core of Sam’s diet, but one food in particular is a must-have: Zespri SunGold Kiwifruit. Nutrient-dense whole foods like SunGold kiwis are a simple way for all of us to get more real-fruit nutrition from the foods we eat. Zespri kiwis provide 10+ vitamins and minerals to help support an active lifestyle, and their versatility also makes them ideal for fitting into Sam’s busy schedule. Whether she’s preparing meals at home or on the go, this small but powerful fruit is always on the menu. It’s one way Sam prioritizes her daily nutrition. This may raise some eyebrows, but Sam is a skin-on kinda girl. “It boosts the nutrients and fiber!” No matter how you choose to enjoy it, a kiwi is an easy way to add more real-food nutrition to your day because of all the vitamins and minerals it contains. For example, just one SunGold kiwi provides 100% of the daily recommended vitamin C. Additionally, Zespri kiwis are high in folate and a good source of vitamin E. For a fruit that's so portable and tasty, it delivers an impressive nutritional package, making it a natural fit for Sam's active lifestyle. For this influencer, her days begin on her vibration plate. “I like to get things moving after lying down horizontally for eight hours in a row. My whole morning routine is really about priming my gut for the day.” Part of that gut-healthy agenda is her breakfast, which often consists of two eggs, Greek yogurt, and a SunGold kiwi (with the skin on, of course). It’s an easy way to pair protein-rich foods with nutrient-dense fruit. Then, she’s off to her morning workout.For Sam, it varies in intensity and could be weight-lifting at the gym, mat sculpt, a low-impact walk around Manhattan, or a game of pickleball with friends. As a former USTA-ranked tennis player, Sam admits to being a pickleball convert. Fun fact: pickleball is America's fastest-growing sport, and kiwifruit is the fastest-growing category in the fruit bowl.* Upon return from exercising, Sam will whip up this refreshing kiwi drink, and it’s for reasons beyond its great taste.*[Source: Numerator Insights Brand Diagnostics, 5/01/2025-09/15/2025, Fruit Shoppers n=146,846]SunGold Kiwi Electrolyte RefresherIngredients1 cup coconut water1 cup regular water2 Zespri SunGold kiwis, peeled1 tsp honeysqueeze of limepinch of saltsliced Zespri SunGold kiwis Directions1.

Pour over ice (optional) and garnish with fresh SunGold kiwi slices.“I eat Zespri SunGold kiwis as a natural way to support my vitamin and mineral levels. They are full of vitamin C and contain other nutrients like vitamin E and folate, which helps support my overall wellness."Folate is an essential nutrient for growth and cell division and plays a role in the normal formation of red blood cells. Vitamin E protects cells from everyday damage and Vitamin C contributes to normal functioning of the immune system. For this content creator, who has a busy year ahead of wedding planning (amongst the many other things on her plate), staying healthy so she can enjoy herself is paramount. Her jam-packed schedule paired with a fruit jam-packed with nutrients makes feeling good easy!“It’s easy to feel run down, but one single SunGold kiwi has 100% of my daily vitamin C needs, so even when I’m nonstop, they help to keep my immune system strong.”Sam stresses that the reasoning behind her holistic lifestyle is longevity. When eating to increase her muscle mass, it’s not to look better in her jeans, but rather, to hopefully live longer. “With everything I physically do to put on muscle mass and keep my bones healthy, I’m eating whole foods to support that.” One tasty way Sam incorporates SunGold kiwis into her day is by whipping up this high-protein SunGold Kiwi cheesecake.
