Fit in more veggies each day 

Nutrition

We all know the benefits of eating more veggies. But we also know that it can be hard to eat enough of them. The trick to fitting in more veggies is to make it easy and part of your regular routine. Even small amounts add up. Here are tips to help you fit in more without a lot of work.

Enjoy veggies at breakfast

If you’re a breakfast eater, you might not be prioritizing veggies at this meal. People are less likely to eat veggies at breakfast than any other meal, so adding even a small amount to your morning routine is an easy way enjoy more. Here are a few simple ways to make it happen.

Add veggies anywhere you can at lunch

Fitting in more veggies at lunch can be simple and add texture, flavor, and variety to your routine. Over the course of a week, a few tablespoons here or there, can add up to cups of nutrient-rich veggies—bringing you closer to your goal. Including fiber-rich veggies at your midday meal can also help you feel satisfied and ready to power through the afternoon.

Make veggies convenient for snacks

Be prepared with simple, convenient, delicious veggie-based snacks. Try these options.

Eat veggies first and double up at dinner

Dinner is the meal people tend to fit in some vegetables, but sometimes we get in a rut and lack variety. Doubling your veggie intake at dinner and adding different types of veggies brings you closer to meeting your daily goals. Here’s how.

We hope these tips help you enjoy veggies at every meal and snack. Plan ahead by shopping weekly for your favorite fresh, canned, frozen, and dried veggies. Make veggies a convenient part of your daily routine and enjoy the benefits of these nutrient-dense foods.
