Champions de la Santé (Health Champions)
Eating more fruits and vegetables is a great way to improve your nutrition. It can be as easy as adding fruit to a bowl of cereal or adding grated carrots and zucchini to pasta sauce. These tips can help you get started.
Take small steps
- Mix sliced fruit or frozen berries with yogurt or cereal.
- Add apple chunks, pineapple, grapes, or raisins to tuna or chicken salad.
- Make fruit smoothies by blending together fresh or frozen fruit, fruit juice, and yogurt.
- Add dried or fresh fruit to oatmeal, pancakes, and waffles.
- Add lots of colourful vegetables, such as red cabbage, carrots, and bell peppers, to green salads.
- Top salads with dried cranberries or raisins, or with sliced pears, oranges, nectarines, strawberries, or grapefruit.
- Add extra vegetables, such as grated zucchini or carrots, spinach, kale, and bell peppers, to pasta sauces and soups.
- Add lots of vegetables to sandwiches. Lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, and avocado slices are flavourful choices.
