2019 Choices Road Trip for Health--Simple Ways to Add More Fruits & Veggies to Your Diet

FRUIT AND VEGGIE POWER!

IT’S EASIER THAN YOU MAY THINK TO ADD EXTRA SERVINGS OF FRUITS AND VEGGIES TO YOUR DIET. CHECK OUT SOME TIPS YOU CAN USE FOR EVERY MEAL OF THE DAY:

~BREAKFAST~

*Add fresh raspberries or fresh, sliced strawberries to your cereal or oatmeal.

*Switch out your morning coffee for a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice once a week. It’s a great way to start your day and limit your weekly caffeine intake!

~LUNCH~

*Why not add extra veggies to your sandwich? Romaine hearts, tomatoes, and cucumber go great with a traditional mayo or vinaigrette 

*If you’re more of a grazer during lunchtime, try hummus with fresh veggies for a lighter meal.

~DINNER~

*Try adding a side salad or if you want to be a super sneaky, add some chopped and sautéed vegetables to your pasta sauce! Zucchini, carrots, onion, spinach and bell peppers are great in a marinara!

*Get creative with the pizza toppings! Pineapple, zucchini, cauliflower, broccoli… so many possibilities! And “designing” your own mini pizza is a great way to get the whole family involved. Make it colorful!

~MIX IT UP~

*Add some green to your smoothie! Try adding an avocado for a great nutritional boost and a creamy texture. Seriously—it’s delish!

Health is a journey…a series of small steps that take you to a new place.

Keep your commitment to the healthy goals you set for yourself. You are worth it!
