EASY WAYS TO ADD FRUITS AND VEGGIES TO YOUR DIET

Too many of us don't eat enough fruits and vegetables.  Here are some things you can do to make sure you are getting the fruits and veggies you need on a daily basis:

• Add some veggies to non-vegetable soups such as a handful of peas or carrots and/or celery, sliced or diced, to soups such as chicken noodle, etc.
• Add lettuce, tomato, cucumber slices, etc to sandwiches.
• Add some salsa to scrambled eggs.
• Instead of fried eggs, have an omelet stuffed with mushrooms, peppers, etc.
• Top your morning cereal or oatmeal with fruit or berries.
• Add peas or mushrooms to rice.
• Before you start eating, look at your plate.  Try to make it half fruits and vegetables.

These are just a few ideas I have listed here.  I'm sure you can think of even more ways to get more healthy fruits and veggies into your diet.
