March is National Nutrition Month
In this glorious month of March, we have an entire calendar page devoted to nutrition! Make your March healthy with these tips to take in more fruits and veggies. Not only are they high in nutrients and antioxidants, but high in fiber too. These quick tips and tricks to add more fruits and vegetables will keep your belly full at a fraction of the calories, helping you stay slim and trim for the spring season.
- Add spinach, mushrooms, tomatoes, bell peppers
and onions to an egg white omelet.
- Jazz up your morning routine by adding a new
favorite fruit to your oatmeal or shredded wheat. Fresh
cherries or blackberries really crank up the flavor.
- The next time you break out the grill, add a skewer
of fresh vegetables brushed with balsamic vinegar.
For a new twist on desert, add a couple of fruits like
peaches, apricots, banana or pineapple. Strawberries
and other small pieces of fruit can be folded in
aluminum foil so they don't fall through the grill grates.
- Have slices of raw vegetables and fruit washed
and ready to grab on your refrigerator shelf.
- Pack ready-to-eat fruits and vegetables for a
convenient snack on the go. Great grabs are celery
sticks, bell pepper strips, baby carrots, an apple, a
banana, or a box of raisins.
- Cool off with a great treat. Pour 100% fruit or
vegetable juice into an ice cube tray to make juice
cubes. Add pineapple or orange juice ice cubes and
minced ginger to give your stir fry a new twist.
- Make your own smoothies by blending together
frozen fruit, such as sliced bananas or strawberries.
