More ideas to get the good stuff in

I am constantly being asked, “5-9 servings of fruits and veggies! How am I going to get that all in a day”.

Here are some more ideas…

More Veggies
Add spinach, tomato, onions and bell pepper to an egg-white omelet for two servings

½ cup oatmeal, ½ cup berries, a little agave nectar for 1 serving

Make a veggie sandwich – whole grain bread, tomato, cucumber, lettuce, onion and a smear of hummus (many flavors to choose from) for 3 servings

Add ½ cup each of sautéed diced carrots, peas, diced red bell pepper to 1 cup of cooked brown rice for 3 servings.


More Fruit
Delicious blended fruit and veggie drink – 8oz. as in my previous blog entry for 4 servings

Spinach salad with ¼ cup of strawberries and ½ cup sliced apples for 1 servings fruit and 3 servings of veggies – add some pecans and a little feta cheese for protein

Grilled chicken topped with ½ cup each mango, avocado – make a salsa – add jalapeno, ¼ cup red bell pepper and ¼ cup green onion and squeeze some lime juice for 3 servings

Sautee 1 apple (cut up), ½ cup blueberries and some cinnamon and a little butter or ghee – sprinkle with chopped pecans and walnuts for a delicious dessert for 2 servings
