My top 10 TOP tips for increasing your daily fruit and veggies

Picture
EAT A RAINBOW OF FRUIT AND VEGGIES EVERYDAY

1. Have a traffic light of colour on your dinner plate 
Some red, orange or yellow and green veggies on your plate every night. 

2. See snacks as an opportunity
Snack on fruit and veggies throughout the day
Enjoy veggie sticks with dip
Enjoy smoothies (blend low fat milk, low fat yoghurt and fruit)

3. Include frozen and canned when you don't have fresh
Frozen veggies are very nutrition. Make sure that you steam or microwave (not boil) them
If using canned (and include beans too) make sure to drain and discard the liquid

4.  Add colours to your cooking
Add extras veggies curries, casseroles, rice, omelettes, sandwiches
Grate veggies into pasta sauce, hamburgers or meat balls 

5. Be prepared
Make sure you have fruit and veggies available to eat
Keep a well stocked fruit bowl
Keep frozen fruit and veggies in the freezer
Keep canned veggies in the cupboard 

6. Mathematical shopping
2 pieces of fruit per person per day. Work it out for your household and buy enough :)

7. Add fruit and veggies to your breakfast 
Make a breakfast veggie omelette
Enjoy baked beans on toast
Add some fruit to your cereal

8. Add fruit and veggies to your lunch
Fill your sandwhiches and wraps 
Eat colourful dinner leftovers for lunch

9. Variety so you never get bored! 
Enjoy them steamed, stir fried, roasted, raw
Veggie filled soups (yummy recipe here)
Colourful salads 
Make sure your shopping trolley is filled with colour


10. The veggie challenge 
Try a new veggie (or one you haven't eaten in a while) each week or month. Mine last week was swede - it's delicious in soups!
