By far one of the easiest ways to increase your fruit and veggie intake is to drink them in a delectable smoothie! Blend up a frozen banana, a handful of spinach, kale, cucumber, and frozen berries for a delicious and healthy drink. You can mix it up by trying out the hundreds of recipes online to reach your daily intake goal of fruit and vegetables.
When you're making a sauce, burgers, or pie, swap out the meat and replace it with a healthy alternative, such as chopped mushrooms. Mushrooms make a great meat substitute, and take on the rich flavors of the herbs and spices you normally use.
