Colorful Choices Week 2

Great job on working to increase your fruit and vegetable consumption! This week we are trying to increase the number of meals that are full of fruits and vegetables. Did you accomplish one meal a day last week? This week, try to increase it to two! 

Focus on addition, not subtraction!

Adding produce to a meal might be easier than creating an entirely new one. Already have a favorite entrée? Don't replace it! Instead, enhance the meal by incorporating some quick produce. Check out some examples below:

  • Add spinach to your eggs, protein shake, or stir-fry.
  • Include a side salad with your meals.
  • Substitute spaghetti squash or zucchini noodles for pasta.
  • Incorporate frozen vegetables into casseroles.
  • Mix berries or bananas into a bowl of cereal.
  • Top pancakes with sliced strawberries.
