10 Tips to Eat More Fruits
Looking to eat more fruits? There are many different types and forms of fruits that you can eat daily: fresh, frozen, canned and dried.
- Keep fruits accessible. Keep a bowl on the table or your counter. Keep cut-up fruit in an easy-to-reach container in your refrigerator.
- Make it easy! Have pre-cut fruits available at work. Make the healthy choice the easy choice.
- For a flavor, color, or texture “kick,” add fruits to dishes such as mandarin oranges to a tossed salad or pineapple to a pizza.
- Use fruit for your dessert choice. A juicy orange makes a great ending to a meal as does a baked apple during the winter.
- For the original fast food, choose fruits as snacks. Apples and oranges travel well and can be eaten “on the run.” Dried fruit is another “on the go” fruit choice.
- Looking to get your children to eat more fruit? Have them choose fruits at the grocery store. They can be involved in preparing them at home.
- Make it fun! Cut up fruit and put it on a stick for fun and appealing fruit kabobs. A fruit smoothie is a fun and refreshing drink for adults and kids.
- Top it off with fruit - use fruit as a topping for pancakes, waffles, cereal, or ice cream.
- Try canned fruits in water or light juice. Also look for unsweetened frozen fruits.
- Visit your local farmer’s market to get good buys. You might learn about some new fruits you haven’t tried!
