Getting Those 5 Fruits & Veggies Daily

Members Were Sparked

Most days I have no problem getting my quota of 5. However on the days I need a quick boost I always keep a V-8 in the pantry (I prefer it room temperature) to add to my total. Tastes great and I know it's good for me, however the lower sodium is the one I select.

Momma Was Right When She Said To Eat Your Veggies

Make an effort to get as many fruits & veggies in by lunchtime so as to reach your 8 servings daily. Put extra veggies in an omelet, make a large salad, a loaded veggie sandwich or even a nice homemade veggie soup. Even snacking on raw veggies & fruit adds up quickly & helps aid in weightloss
