Are You Getting The Right Amount of Fruits and Veggies?

Fruits and vegetables are loaded with vitamins, fiber, and antioxidants, yet many adult women find it a chore to eat the recommended amount of five to nine servings every day. It's especially challenging with today's stressful lifestyles that juggle careers with motherhood, but by following just a few of these tips you'll go a long way towards reaching your daily quota:

Make it a habit to include fruit or vegetables with breakfast, and you'll be getting a head start on your daily intake right away. Add veggies to your omelet and berries or banana slices to your cereal or pancakes, or try a smoothie made with yogurt and fruit.

Have fruit or vegetables as a snack, and pair them with something else to make them easier to consume. Carrots, cucumbers, and red pepper slices go great with hummus, and fruit is a natural match for cheese.
