3 Very Easy Ways to Eat More Fruits and Vegetables

I have a quick post for you today on the strategies I use to eat more fruits and vegetables. Depending on the source, it’s typically recommended that we eat between 6-10 fruits and vegetables a day.  It probably comes as no shock to you that here in the States it is reported that the actual average of fruits and veggies eaten each day is just two.    

Yup, just two.    

Now, I don’t know how you feel about this, but overall, it really is a sad state of nutritional affairs (especially if you have kids and they’re loooking to you as a model of what to eat).    

One of the things I do to make sure my kids get at least four servings a day is setup some simple rules. These rules have been in place since they were able to understand what rules are. These are the rules I have in place with my two girls to make sure they eat more fruits and vegetables:      

  • Breakfast must alays include at least one fruit (they typically opt for either apples, peaches, plums or strawberries)
  • One of their two snacks during the school day must be a fruit (they typically pack their own lunches)
  • They must have at least one vegetable with lunch (even if it’s lettuce and tomatoes on top of a sandwich, cucumber sticks are also amongst their favorites)
  • They must have at least one vegetable with dinner (this is the easiest since my wife cooks practically every night)

The great thing is that even when they’re not closely supervised they know they have to follow these rules and cheap ampicillin do so (most of the time).     

Now, you’re probably thinking: “Sure, that’s great and all, but it’s a lot harder when you’re a busy adult. How does this help me?” Right?  

The truth is, it’s not that much harder for adults to eat more fruits and vegetables in a given day either.  

Here are some super simple tips to get you started. I’ve used all of these strategies in the past to eat more fruits and vegetables as well as help with fat loss:     

  1. Buy em pre-chopped: Look, I can be lazy, too ;-) There’s nothing wrong with not wanting to go through the hassle of having to chop up fruits and veggies. If you want to buy them pre-chopped go ahead. It’s much better for you than not eating them.   
  2. Carry them with you: Load up a plastic baggie with your pre-chopped veggies and bring them to work. Seriously, see how easy this can be!   (This is the strategy I use practically every day.)
  3. Add real fruit to your yogurt:  Have some yogurt (preferably Greek yogurt) for breakfast and add some fresh blueberries, raspberries or blackberries. It’s that simple!   

Here’s a bonus tip:     

Like I said, I know it’s hard to eat more fruits and vegetables. Given our busy schedules, most buy cheap acomplia people are lucky to have three or four servings of fruits and vegetables (see previous statistic). 

One of the ways that both my wife and I personally ensure we get enough of the nutrients we need is by taking a whole foods based multi-vitamin. By taking a whole foods based multi-vitamin, you can provide your body with the nutritional foundation you need each day (especially if you can’t eat more fruits and vegetables). 

Prograde Nutrition offers a terrific product called VGF 25+ that is made from 25 veggies, greens and fruits.   Unlike the big name brand multi-vitamins you’re familiar diflucan retail price with,  VGF 25+ is made from whole foods.
