While it is absolutely possible to meet all of your nutritional needs through food alone, many of us struggle to complete our daily values. Our modern-day diet is typically high-calorie yet severely lacks essential nutrients!
In 2015, a CDC analysis found that only 9% of adults ate the recommended amount of vegetables, and 12% of adults met the recommendations for fruit.
So what even are the recommendations?
It varies from person to person on the amount needed, but most studies show great benefits when eating 2-5 cups per day of each for the average person.
So what is the easiest way to get all your servings in? Below are a few tips to help you consume more nutritious and delicious foods!
- After your grocery hauls, prep your fruits and vegetables RIGHT AWAY! Wash, cut up, contain, etc.
- Aim for 1.5-2 cups at each meal, even with breakfast! Whether you throw some spinach in your smoothies or with your egg omelets, get it in.
- Utilize salads and side salads- They are one of the EASIEST ways to get an abundance of nutrients. Knock out both your fruits and vegetables with a Citrus Salad! https://thishealthytable.com/blog/citrus-pomegranate-salad/
- Try preparing veggies in different ways. Sautéed or oven-roasted with healthy oils brings a whole new flavor to them!
- When on the go or in a rush, try dipping carrots, celery, peppers, and jicama, in a healthy dip such as hummus or a clean ranch.
