It’s easy to get 5 to 9 servings of fruits and vegetables into your diet every day. Just remember to think color!

• Toss fruit into your green salad for extra flavor, variety, color, and crunch.
• Expand your palate and your palette with green, red, orange, yellow, and purple peppers.
• Think frozen! Frozen fruits and vegetables are just as healthy as fresh, and they’re ready when you need them.
• Save time with pre-cut vegetables and salad mixes.
• Add apples, raisins, or pineapple chunks to deli salads like chicken, tuna, or pasta.
• Add frozen mixed vegetables to canned or dried soups.
• Make a quick smoothie using frozen fruit.
• Keep an easy-to-grab, pre-washed bowl of fruit on the counter.
