Helpful Hint:

Here are 3 easy ways to load up on fruits and veggies and increase those numbers.
1) Make a smoothie - Add fruit, veggies, ice, milk or juice and you've got a great post workout snack of breakfast. You can easily get 3+ servings or freggies in this one beverage.

2) Make vegetable soup - Start with a base of chicken stock for more flavor and add everything from green beans to corn, potatoes to kale for a hearty dinner that doubles as lunch the next day!

3) Make a BIG salad - Start with a bed of mixed greens and add spinach, tomatoes, carrots, cucumbers, mushrooms, peppers, onions, etc. and you've got a filling lunch. Add some grilled chicken or eggs for extra protein and you're good to go!

Sorry team I've just not been posting my veggies like I should. I've been eating them ~ had spinach (2cups) four days this, 2 sweet potatoes, one beet, peaches (twice), 4 apples, 2 pears, 2 cups green greens. And tonight spinach and black beans.

I will be better next week. This week was a little downer for me.

Horning in our your team page to post a link to a great side dish recipe that is easy to make, only 90 calories, and will satisfy the sweet and crunch craving so many of us get. A great way to add in some fruit and veggies as well! It's a carrot/apple/pineapple/yogurt slaw that I'm going to try tonight!

2 pt banana
2 pts - salad 2 cups


Weds.:

2 pts - banana
1 pt Beans

Thursday:

2 pts black beans
2 pts banana
2 pts carrots 1 cup


Friday:

1 ppt apple

So as of now I only have 16 points: I will try to get more in tonight and tomorrow.

Helpful Hint: Frozen grapes make a yummy snack that you can make in advance and reach for easily. You can also roll them in jello (the unmixed powder) to make "sour patch" grapes. Yummy!

Thanks for sharing Heidi!! I made some soup this weekend with kale, butternut squash, diced tomatoes, and a little whole wheat pasta. It was delicious and reminded me fall was right around the corner!

Helpful Hint:
Make veggie soup!
Chop and steam 4 bunches of broccoli, 1 bunch of cauliflower, and 2 potatoes. Add vegetable broth, water, salt, white pepper, and a 1/4 cup cream. After blending it you have a bowl full of yummy veggies. Makes about 6 to 8 servings. Prep time 30 minutes.
This recipe is also awesome with pumpkin, carrots, and potatoes since fall is coming up. Pretty much the same recipe. Just swap the white pepper for a little bit of cinnamon.
Experiment with different vegetables and spices, have fun, and enjoy some fabulously funky freggie soup.

Helpful Hint:
Fruit and yogurt is a great go to snack that packs enough protein to help keep you fuller longer. Frozen or fresh fruit works well and if you don't like yogurt, try greek yogurt or cottage cheese. This can be used as a post workout snack as well, since it's got protein to help muscles recover!

The numbers just went out in an email, but here's what we've got for the week:

Our Funksters have come out on top with 31.83 average freggies per person this week. Top points on the Funky team go to JOYCEBROWN with 57 freggies. Woohoo! Only one person on the Funky team did not report in any numbers.

The Punksters come in second with 29.75 average freggies per person this week. Top points on the Punky team go to RUSSTHESKIGUY with 44 freggies. Great job! Only one person on the Punky team did not report in any numbers.

Unfortunately, a full half of the Vicious team did not report in at all for the week. The team's total thus comes out to 20 average freggies per person this week. The Vicious high scorer is ANTHONYSGAL with 58 freggies - fantastic!

So overall, the Funksters are winning the team challenge, but Vicious has the #1 high score of 58 freggies this week.

Thanks to all of you who reported in this week. Please, please remember that the whole team counts on you reporting in. It doesn't matter how many servings you get in. You don't have to have a high number. Any number is better than a zero! Let's try for 100% participation this week!! If you can't make it out to your team thread every day, make sure to at least let us know your week's numbers by Sunday at 10pm. We can do this! :)

Here's your Helpful Hint of the day:

Freeze sliced bananas when they become ripe and you've got a great snack or the beginnings of a great smootthie! It's the only way I've found to keep my bananas from getting overripe before I'm ready to eat them, even when I buy the green ones!

Speaking of smoothie, check out these simple smoothie recipes from Prevention.com www.prevention.com/weight-loss/flat-belly-
diet/smoothies-weight-loss-flat-belly-
smoothie-diet-recipes A lot of them call for flaxseed oil, but leave it out if you don't have it. Add in some protein powder if you want.

As of right now, Teresa(LIVESTRONG2012) is in the lead with 27 servings of fruits and vegetables!!! Wanna know how she does it? She's a smoothie lover!!! So this brings us to today's Helpful Hint:

Want to get more freggies in your diet? Break out your blender and stuff it with all sorts of fruit and leafy greens!! Some suggestions are bananas, apples, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, kale, spinach, and cucumbers! These are just suggestions, you pick what you like! I promise, all the yummy sweetness of your fruit shines through and you won't taste the veggies. The cucumbers add a nice freshness in my opinion. Add in some juice, milk, yogurt, protein powder, or whatever you fancy and you're good to go!

Great job guys, y'all are doing FANTASTIC! Keep up the good work!!

Welcome to the team Fabulously Funky Freggie-Heads!!

I hope to see lots of activity on the thread by way of words of encouragement, recipes, and TONS of fruit and veggie intake!! If you struggle with getting in enough freggies, this will be a great challenge for you!!

Helpful Hint:
We do "Meatless Monday" in my house which is a great way to increase fruit and veggie intake! It can be a challenge to think of filling veggie laden meals, but that's part of the fun! It's an idea I wanted to share with y'all as just one of many ways to get in those veggies. The fruits seem to be a lot easier on most people, but I'll posting helpful hints like this all month long, so be sure you check and comment on the team thread often!

Don't be afraid to ask a question if you have one. We're all here to learn from each other and there is no such thing as a stupid question. So post them here on the thread or send me a message!!

Everyone should get a spark mail from your team leader in the next day or so verifying your team and members. You may end up with more members as the deadline isn't reached yet, but the challenge is on! Post daily, every few days, but at least once a week to let your leader and team mates know where you stand. Leaders will go over the rules and what a serving portion is with you and by when you need your weekly totals in. Let's have fun with this!
