Here are 10 tips to help make it easier to incorporate fruits and vegetables into your family’s meals and snacks: Wash and cut fresh vegetables after purchasing them. This makes it easier to grab-and-go during the week and reduce the risk they’ll be forgotten and go bad. Store fresh, frozen, canned, and dried fruits and veggies in easy-to-see places in the refrigerator, pantry, shelves and countertops. Ditch the candy jar! Instead, keep a bowl of washed apples, oranges, bananas and other ready-to-eat fruits on the table. Have a sweet tooth? Try eating fruit with yogurt for dessert. Include a veggie tray with dip for a healthy before-dinner snack. Make a habit of including a side salad with a mix of leafy greens with dinner. Add veggies like spinach, tomatoes, peppers and avocado to sandwiches. Add veggies to your pizza. Make fruit smoothies for breakfast and snacks. Incorporate at least one serving of veggies and/or fruits into all snacks and meals throughout the day.
