Did You Know?

Did you know? Only 1 in 10 adults gets the recommended daily amount of fruits and vegetables. Adding just one more serving a day can make a big difference for your health—boosting energy, improving heart health, and supporting your immune system.

Here we have some of our favorite ways to incorporate more fruits and vegetables on your plate today. Feel free to tweak where you see fit.

Start with breakfast – add berries to oatmeal, spinach to scrambled eggs, or a banana to your toast.

Snack smarter – keep pre-cut veggies (carrots, cucumbers, bell peppers) or fruit cups handy instead of chips or candy.

Double up at meals – add a side salad and a veggie to lunch or dinner.

Blend it in – smoothies are an easy way to sneak in spinach, kale, or frozen fruits.

Swap it out – try zucchini noodles, cauliflower rice, or lettuce wraps in place of starch-heavy sides.

Go colorful – aim for “eating the rainbow” each day with different fruits and veggies for variety and nutrients.

Soup & stew power – toss extra vegetables into soups, stir-fries, or pasta sauces.

Make it easy – buy frozen or canned (in water/low sodium) so you always have options on hand.

We find that these are simple and realistic ways to up your fruit and vegetable intake throughout your day. Happy eating!
