If you find it hard to get in all your daily servings of fruits and vegetables, put them in a smoothie as breakfast or lunch. It is easy to get in two or three fruit or veggie servings in one smoothie. But be careful you don't load your smoothie down with sugar and calories! Here is an example of a fruit smoothie you might want to go by:
1 pint fresh strawberries, hulled & cut up
1 ripe banana, peeled & cut into chunks
1/2 cup blueberries
1/2 cup plain low-fat yogurt
1/3 cup fat-free milk
This particular smoothie would offer 3 fruit servings. It also offers 5 grams of fiber, and only 153 calories.
