Eating fruits and vegetables every day isn’t an easy task — especially to eat the daily suggested amount.
If you’re counting, that’s about 1-2 cups of fruit and 2-3 cups of vegetables every day. Those who accomplish it maintained strict discipline, and developed some habits that help ensure the palate and stomach enjoy fresh produce.
8 Ways to Eat More Fruits and Veggies
- Put mini carrots, broccoli, and sugar snap peas in a small plastic bag for easy, portable snacks.
- Fill half of your plate with vegetables at every lunch and dinner. Eat this half first!
- If you want something sweet for dessert, make it fruit. Whole, fresh fruit is best.
- Include two vegetables at every dinner.
- Add vegetables to starches like rice or pasta dishes.
- Make frozen fruit smoothies with whole fruit, ice cubes, and skim milk or low fat yogurt.
- At restaurants, choose beans, vegetables, or a side salad instead of fries.
- Keep fruits and veggies on hand and in plain view. Store the chips and cookies out of sight. Better yet, buy them only for special occasions.
