Did you know you need about 5 cups of fruits and veggies per day? It's easier than you think to add these healthy components to your daily diet. Add bananas, blueberries, or strawberries to your cereal. Snack on baby carrots (12 baby carrots equals 1 cup), and eat a large salad for lunch or dinner (2 cups with mixed veggies included). Fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins. And any serving you eat with the skin still on it, such as blueberries, apples, or cucumbers, gives you dietary fiber. Use the fiber calculator to see how many grams of fiber you should be getting each day.
Step it up:
Up your fruit and veggies servings to 6 cups per day; more servings mean more energy and more fiber.
