Fruits and vegetables can be eaten fresh, cooked, frozen, canned, or dried, which gives you plenty of options when it comes to adding them to your meals. Here are some ideas on how you can incorporate a variety of fruits and vegetables in your diet. Cook vegetables to go with your dinner. The options to add vegetables to your dinner are endless. Try baking a sweet potato, steaming broccoli, or grilling asparagus. If you want a simpler option, try cutting up all your vegetables and roasting them all on the same sheet pan. Use frozen fruits and vegetables in a smoothie. This is a great way to get nutrients while enjoying a cold treat. Smoothies are also easy on the digestive system because of the consistency. You can also add yogurt or a nut butter if you don't like the taste of the fruit and veggies alone. Eat fresh or dried fruit as a snack. If you don't want to prepare fresh fruit nor have a way to keep it cold, try dried fruit. Dried fruit is easy to take with you anywhere and can be added to snacks such as yogurt or granola. Eat fresh vegetables with a dip. If you dont like snacking on vegetables alone, try eating them with a dip such as hummus, ranch, or tzatziki. Make sure that you check the nutritional facts of the dip to ensure its a healthy choice.
