Struggling to Get Five a Day?

September 14, 2007 By: Vilma Perez Category: Fruta Vida, Nutrition, URI International No Comments →

Now, ya’ll remember what your mama told you….

Mijita, you need to eat your fruits & veggies because they are good for you!

Of course, I, being the obedient child that I was listened quite well & I LOVE fruits and most veggies.  But many people I know struggle to get the recommended 5 servings of fruits & veggies a day. 

Now, I realize that we are almost 3 weeks into the month but I still have to share this… Sparkpeople just released their September Calendar titled “30 Days to More Fruit & Veggies” which gives daily tips and tricks to increase your intake of these nutritious and delicious foods — while enjoying every single bite! 

Drop by and check it out!!!  30 Ways to Eat More Fruits & Veggies

And… if you’re anything like me and don’t have time to prepare and cut up delicious fruits & veggies, I highly recommend some kind of good quality greens or super/whole foods supplement.  They are very convinient & with 1 or 2 servings you can you get your daily allowance plus added nutrients.

Here are some good ones to check out:
