Ways to eat “5 a
Day”
Does eating five servings
of fruits and vegetables
a day sound like a lot? If so,
try these ideas:
• Serve soup: use vegetables
and legumes as
a base for soups or as
added ingredients.
• Thicken sauces without
fat, substitute cooked
and pureed vegetables
for cream or whole
milk.
• Be creative: pasta and
stir-fry dishes are ideal
ways to serve lots of
different vegetables.
• Enhance old standbys:
add fruit to your breakfast
cereal and raw,
grated vegetables or
fuit to muffins and
cookies.
• Don’t let lettuce limit
salads: choose a wider
variety of greeens,
including arugula,
chicory, collards,
dandelion greens, kale,
mustard greens, spinach,
and watercress.
• Steam vegetables, and
serve over brown rice.
