By taking the challenge, you'll see how easy it is to add fruits and vegetables to your eating plan, first for a day, then for a week, and ultimately for a lifetime. Find out who has the largest selection of fruits and vegetables in his or her house or pantry. Count the number of fruit and vegetable servings each person has eaten at breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. Award a special prize to those who have eaten at least 5 servings each day. Make snacking more interesting by competing with friends to see who can snack on the largest variety of fruits and veggies.
Most people eat about three servings of fruits and vegetables a day.
Fruits and vegetables are portable and can give you a quick boost of flavor and energy anytime. Pack an apple or a bag of carrot sticks, raisins, or dried apricots in your glove compartment, purse, or briefcase. Keep fruits and vegetables within easy reach. Put a bowl of fruit on the counter in the kitchen. Make sure fruits and vegetables are clearly visible when you open the refrigerator.
