Snack time

Here's another easy tip to help you get your 5 to 9 servings of fruits and veggies a day.

Eat them at snack!

It's easy to cut up fruits and vegetables ahead of time and place them in the fridge. So do that and pull them out whenever snack time hits for a quicker way to get them into your day.

Some veggies cut up with some ranch dip or dressing is good. An apple or banana with peanut butter or cheese is another choice. Test and try a few different ideas.

If your kids have a hard time eating them, try making some "sculptures" or "creatures" with various fruits and veggies. Or let them play with their food just as long as they eat it. ;)

There are tons of ways to get creative in getting in your 5 to 9 a day. It's not as hard as it seems. Give any idea a try. Just so long as you and your family are eating a healthy diet, what can it hurt?

Have a great day! And happy eating!
