Fruits Info

Are you not sure how to increase your fruit and vegetable intake? Start the day with 100 per cent fruit or vegetable juice. Slice bananas or strawberries on peak of your cereal. Have a salad with lunch, and carrot sticks for an afternoon snack. Include a vegetable with dinner and you by now have the optional five servings of fruits and vegetables a day. If you need more than five, try adding a piece of fruit for a snack or an extra vegetable (like carrots or green beans) at dinner.

. There are so many choices when selecting fruits and vegetables. Have you ever tried kiwi fruit? How about asparagus? Try amazing new that helps you reach your goal.

. Keep things fresh and attractive by combining fruits and vegetables of different flavors and colors, such as red grapes with pineapple chunks, or cucumbers and red peppers.

. When you keep fruits and vegetables visible and easily accessible, you tend to eat more; for example, store cut-and-cleaned produce at eye-level in the refrigerator, or keep a big bowl of fruit on the table.

You can get some of your fruits and vegetables at restaurants too. Try some of these healthy choices:

. Veggie pizza
. Pasta with vegetables (but look at out for those high-fat cream sauces))
. Fresh vegetable wraps
. Vegetable soup
. Small salad (instead of fries)
. Plenty of fresh vegetables from the salad bar.
