Veggies A New Way

So many people only eat canned veggies and never venture outside that. No wonder more people don't eat veggies very often.

I hope this blog will encourage you to expand your taste buds.

There are nights that I will have 3 veggies on my plate, and almost always 2 different veggies.

I grew up with a mom who only cooked canned green beans, and corn. And boy has my health suffered for this fact. Granted we did not eat fast food like so many people do today and I know their health is declining.

Have fruit with every meal.
At breakfast, top wholegrain cereal with sliced banana or berries. Have an apple or nectarine with lunch. After dinner, treat yourself to another piece of fruit with yogurt.

Consume a rainbow a day.
To meet or exceed your daily quota of fruits and veggies and to maximize the nutritional benefits from your choices, choose a different color with each selection.
Red: red bell peppers, tomatoes, apples
Orange: Carrots, oranges, cantaloupe
Yellow: summer squash, corn, peaches
Green: spinach, kale, broccoli, grapes
Blue or Purple: eggplant, red cabbage, blueberries, grapes
White: onions, leeks, turnips, honeydew melon and so on.
