Everyone knows you're supposed to have at least 5 fruits and veggies a day. But knowing and taking action are two different stories. Here are some tips to try to help you get the recommended amount.
1) Some people don't eat breakfast, but this is one of the most important meals of the day. It's especially good if you can get a few fruits in the meal. A smoothie works great! Just pop in some fruit in a blender along with some low-fat yogurt and some ice, blend it up to the consistency you like and you're ready to go.
2) For lunch try adding some fruits and vegetables to you and your family's sandwiches. To a peanut butter sandwich, you may like to add sliced apples, banana, or strawberries to it. On a sub or normal meat sandwich try putting on some lettuce, tomato or whatever else you and your family can handle eating. Put on as many veggies as you can.
3) At dinner, try having a big salad bar placed out. Or even a few small side salads to go along with the meal, and let everyone choose their toppings and dressings to suit their own unique tastes.
These are only 3 of the tips, I'll post more tomorrow so come back then! :)
