Ways to Add More Fruit and Vegetables Into Your Diet
Many of us don’t get the recommended five servings of fruit and vegetables per day. This is mostly due to our unhealthy diets and hectic schedules. Many of us would rather reach for a candy bar or a bag of chips instead of taking a few minutes to wash some celery or carrot sticks. Since many of us are aware of the many health benefits that fruit and vegetables have to offer, why are we not making more effort to incorporate these foods into our daily diets?
Incorporating fruit and vegetables into our diets can be really easy, fun, and healthy. We can create many delicious treats that are just as irresistible as a candy bar or a bag of chips. One way to incorporate vegetables into your diet is to eat them with your favorite dip. Instead of grabbing that bag of tortilla or potato chips, try to cut up some celery and carrot sticks to eat with your favorite french onion dip. As for fruit, there are numerous fun and delicious recipes. For instance, you can make a fruit parfait instead of eating Ice Cream. Simply place some fresh berries in a bowl, top them off with vanilla yogurt and add little pieces of nuts or granola. You can also make chocolate covered strawberries instead of reaching for a candy bar. Simply melt some chocolate, dip the strawberries and place them in the fridge. For added antioxidants, try using dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate. Another great snack which incorporates fruit is cereal. Simply make a bowl of whole grain cereal and add some of your favorite fruit to it. Add some fat free milk if you are aiming at weight loss. All of these recipes are delicious and easy to make so don’t be afraid to incorporate them into your diet.

Which vegetable is the most filling?
if you could have a small bowl of ONE vegetable (not grain or legume), and that would have to tide you over for at least 4 hours, what's the most filling veggie?
Obviously a potato:) .... Root vegetables would all tend to be more filling though: parsnips, rutabagas, sweet potatoes .. and also winter squash. Probably because all of those have alot of carbs in them, and are actually considered the starch in your meal, not the veggie:)
