Ready to level-up in your health journey? Discover the many benefits of adding more vegetables and fruits to your meals.
They are low in fat and calories while providing fiber and other key nutrients.
Most Americans should eat more than 3 cups—and for some, up to 6 cups—of vegetables and fruits each day.
Vegetables and fruits don’t just add nutrition to meals. They can also add color, flavor, and texture.
If you need a little inspiration, explore these creative ways to bring healthy foods to your table:
Fire up the grill:
Use the grill to cook vegetables and fruits. Try grilling mushrooms, carrots, peppers, or potatoes on a kabob skewer.
Brush with oil to keep them from drying out. Grilled fruits like peaches, pineapple, or mangos add great flavor to a cookout.
Expand the flavor of your casseroles:
Mix vegetables such as sauteed onions, peas, pinto beans, or tomatoes into your favorite dish for that extra flavor.
Planning something Italian?
Add extra vegetables to your pasta dish. Slip some peppers, spinach, red beans, onions, or cherry tomatoes into your traditional tomato sauce.
Vegetables provide texture and low-calorie bulk that satisfies.
