Incorporating more fruits and vegetables into your daily diet is essential for maintaining overall health and wellness.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), only one in ten adults consumes the recommended daily amount of fruits and vegetables.
To help you increase your intake, here are some practical tips that make adding fruits and veggies to your meals easier than ever, especially with the convenience of freeze-dried fruits and smoothie powders.
1. Start Your Day with a Smoothie
Our smoothies feature a variety of flavorful blends made from organic ingredients, including nutrient-dense fruits and veggies like spinach!
These blends are not only tasty but also packed with essential vitamins and minerals to energize your morning. You can also find fruits and veggies in single-ingredient jars that you can mix and match as you like.
2. Snack Wisely
Swap out traditional snacks with freeze-dried fruits or veggies. For instance, instead of reaching for chips or cookies, try snacking on freeze-dried apples, bananas, or blueberries. These snacks satisfy your cravings without added sugars or preservatives.
3. Enhance Your Meals
Incorporate fruits and veggies into your meals by adding them to salads, stir-fries, or grain bowls. You can easily mix in freeze-dried fruits, which retain their nutrients and flavors. This is a fantastic way to sneak extra servings into your diet.
4. Use Smoothie Powders
Our Organic Smoothie Powders are a simple way to add a nutritional punch to your meals. Sprinkle them into yogurt, oatmeal, or baked goods for an easy boost of vitamins and minerals without altering the flavor significantly.
5. Experiment with Desserts
Make your desserts more wholesome by including fruits and veggies. Use mashed bananas or applesauce as a natural sweetener in baked goods. You can also create a fruit parfait with layers of yogurt, freeze-dried fruit, and granola for a satisfying treat.
6. Keep It Convenient
Having fruits and veggies readily available can make it easier to incorporate them into your daily diet. Keep a stash of freeze-dried fruits in your pantry or desk for a quick snack option. Pre-cut vegetables in the fridge can encourage you to grab them as snacks or add them to meals.
Incorporating more fruits and vegetables into your daily diet doesn't have to be overwhelming.
By using convenient options like freeze-dried fruits and smoothie powders, you can easily elevate your meals and snacks while working towards the CDC's recommendation of at least 1.5 to 2 cups of fruit and 2 to 3 cups of vegetables each day.
Start small, make gradual changes, and watch your health improve as you embrace a more colorful and nutrient-rich diet!
