As springtime arrives more fruits and vegetables are available. Winter is full of heavy soups and stews, but now it is time to lighten it up. Try to incorporate a fruit and/or vegetable into every meal and snack. A lot of people get in their fruit intake, but everyone could stand to eat more vegetables.
Adults should be eating 5-9 servings of fruits and veggies a day. What does a serving look like? Here are 9 different examples of what a day of getting your recommended fruits and vegetables looks like.
It is not as difficult as you may think, a salad can be considered 2-4 servings of vegetables depending on the size and an apple is considered 1 serving of fruit. Be aware that drinking juice is not considered fruit, especially for children. Sorry to burst your bubble.
