Veggie/Fruit challenge

Yesterday, I talked about how fruits and veggies affect your health. I listened to a Dr. who suggested we eat 10-13 serving of vegetables and fruits every day!

How is that possible, I thought? But I decided to give it a try and see if I could do it, and it wasn’t as hard as I thought.

When I woke up I had 1 cup of V-8 splash 100% fruit/veggie juice. On the label it said it was one serving of fruit and one serving of veggies. 2 down.

For breakfast I had 1 serving of Puffin cereal from Trader Joe’s with skim milk and 1 cup of blueberries and 1 very large banana (which I am counting as 2 servings). 4 more servings down.

For my morning snack I had a very large apple, 2 more servings down

For lunch I had a noodle bowl from Trader Joe’s to which I added 1/2 cup of edamame, and 2 servings of green beans as well as 2 veggie pot stickers. 3 more servings down

For dinner, I had a ready made pork dinner from Trader Joe’s with sauteed onions and peppers. 1 more serving down

I also ate a cup of grapes while making dinner, 2 more servings down.

After dinner for my desert, I had another banana drizzled with Nutella. 1 more serving down.

So, all in all, I had 15 servings!!!

Total calories for the day 1,700 total fiber 32 grams!

Can I do this everyday?? Probably not, I’m just kidding, I am going to try to make a better effort to think of fruits and veggies first before any chips, processed snacks etc…

We’ll see what I can do tomorrow!!

Do you buy organic produce, or just regular at the store??
