Now we all know that we should eat at least five servings of fruits and vegetables every day. But knowing and doing are two different things, right? Sometimes it's just not easy to get them all in there. We have constantly tends to fill up on convenience and junk food. If your family is anything like mine, they fill rather than a bag of chips or a bowl of rice or pasta instead of trying an apple or a plate of steamed broccoli. So we have to get creative. Here are some ideas for "sneak" some extra vegetables and fruits in the diet of your family members.
1. Start the day with breakfast juice. All you have to do is throw fruit and low-fat yogurt and ice in a blender. You can also add a tablespoon of protein powder in for good measure. Mix everything for a few seconds and you have the perfect breakfast ready to go. I would like to sip mine in thermal cup on the way to work. To make it more appealing to children, and the use of frozen yogurt or a scoop of ice cream in the juice. They will not believe you let them ice cream for breakfast.
2. Dried fruit and snack makes large at any time of the day. Add some small packets of raisins to your child's lunch box, pack some yogurt-covered raisins in your husband's bag and keep some trail mix sitting around for snacking. You can also add dried fruit and grain oats in the morning. My family loves banana chips and breakfast cereal.
3. Add some fruits and vegetables for your family sandwiches. You can add some banana, apple slices or sliced strawberries to peanut butter sandwich. Top turkey sandwich with lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes and anything else they will eat. You can even make a sandwich in vegetables by combining different style vegetables with some mayonnaise and cheese on bread.
4. Has a salad bar for dinner. Identify a variety of chopped vegetables, cheese, toast some, as well as several options of salad dressing with salad and let everyone create the ideal authority.
5. Let them drink fruit and vegetables. Maintaining a variety of fruit and vegetable juices in the fridge and encourage everyone to drink them as a snack. Be creative. You could start "family cocktail" by pouring everyone a glass of his favorite juice over ice. Add a bit of straw umbrellas cocktails and sit down together to talk about how everyone has days.
6. Try this for dessert. Place a small scoop of ice cream or frozen yogurt in a bowl and top with lots of fresh fruit or frozen.
7. Provide fruits and vegetables and snacks. You can cut apples into slices and top them with peanut butter or cheese. Cheese cube and served with grapes. Cut fresh vegetables and serve them with ranch dip. And of course there are ants on the record. Spread some cheese or peanut butter inside a stick of celery, raisins spray it (WOW, and fruits and vegetables as a snack).
8. Try some new fruits and vegetables. Pick something exotic for curiosity family. With a little luck their curiosity outweigh the initial detention to try something new. You could try artichokes, bananas, papaya, mango, star fruit, or anything else you can find in the products section of your local store.
9. Make a pot of vegetable soup or stew, which is heavy on vegetables and easy on the meat. Both do a bit of comfort food when the weather turns cold.
10. Start "my vegetarian." Each member of the family must choose vegetables one day of the week. Qualify for selection of vegetables as long as they tried all the vegetables in the previous week, otherwise they lose their turn and my mother must choose.
Some of these ideas will have everyone in your family to eat more fruits and vegetables in no time.
