Sneaking More Fruit into Your Day
We all know that we should eat more fruit and vegetables, and
generally we manage pretty well with the veggies. It's not that
hard to have several different vegetables with a meal, or a
Grilled Chicken Salad as a meal. But it can be a little tough
finding places to squeeze in more fruit. It can be done, you
just have to get creative!
Since there's very little chance that you'll eat too much
fruit, it's safe to assume that you should start adding more
fruit to your diet each day. Below are a few ideas to get you
started:
1. Toss blueberries, bananas, peaches, or strawberries into your
cereal or oatmeal.
2. Drink a tall glass of juice each morning, and one between
supper and bedtime.
3. My favorite: Stir fruit into vanilla yogurt and top off with
granola. It's so delicous, you can convince
anyone (including
yourself) that it's dessert! You'll be getting a dose of dairy
at the same sitting.
4. Experiment with fruit smoothies. You'll get addicted. Fast.
5. Serve canned fruit with cottage cheese. Again, you'll benefit
from the dairy as well as the fruit.
6. In a delicious word: Cobblers!
But the best advice is actually pretty simple. Buy fruit and put
it out in plain view for all to see - on the counter, on a
table, in the family room or living room.
Out of sight, out of mind. In sight, in mind.
