Your doctor may have advised you to add more fruits and vegetables to your diet, but that can sometimes be a challenge! But, since September is officially Fruits and Veggies month, we thought we would share with you some stealthy ways to sneak more of them into your diet:

Breakfast

For many people, breakfast can be a rushed affair. It’s tempting to just grab a muffin or something from the drive-through to satisfy that morning hunger. But, with a little bit of prepping the night before, you can have a morning meal that includes fresh fruits and veggies. Cut up some fruit just before bed and throw them on some instant oatmeal or yogurt in the morning. Still don’t have time? There are some great mason jar oatmeal recipes here. Instant breakfast, made a week in advance, and full of fresh fruit!

Lunch

A spinach salad is a great way to not only get a lot of veggies, but also those leafy greens that are so great for heart health. If you’re just not into salads, another option is to pile vegetables high on your favorite sandwich—you can even change it up by adding fruit. Ham and pineapple go great together, as do turkey and apple.

Snack

Everyone needs their sweet tooth satisfied, so why not do that with some dried fruit? Make sure you read the labels, however, to make sure sugar hasn’t been added.

Dinner

For dishes such as casseroles, it’s really easy to add more veggies without really noticing. Take whatever casserole recipe you like best and at least double the amount of vegetables the recipe calls for.

Just a few small changes is all it takes to start on the road to better health! For more ways to increase your overall health, check out some of the items we have in our online catalog.
