Truly Eat a Variety of Fruits and Vegetables

It's something most of us strive for, eating more vegetables and fruit. While it 

may be something we say, or even write down as a resolution, it's sometimes 

easier said than done. These four simple tricks, covering everything from 

breakfast to dinner to snacks, will help you incorporate more fresh foods into 

your diet:

Add fruits (or veggies) to your breakfast meals and you're already starting the 

day nutritionally sound. Stir fruit into dishes like oatmeal and cereal, or sprinkle 

atop toast. Veggie can be also make for easy toast toppers, and great additions 

to an omelet.

Keep an eye out during your grocery shopping to spot produce that you've never 

tried. It may be as common as a butternut squash, or as foreign as dragon fruit. 

By adding a variety of fresh foods to your shopping cart, you'll automatically be 

adding that to your diet too. And who knows, you may find yourself a new 

favorite.

As much as we'd like to believe that a bag of potato chips will count as a serving 

of vegetables, the reality is that your snacks need to be nutritious too. The 

easiest way to snack on wholesome foods is to literally snack on whole foods. 

Grab an apple for on the road, slice up a cucumber for dipping in or steam some 

edamame to tide you over from lunch to dinner or for late night munching.
