SWAP IN FRUITS AND VEGETABLES THIS WEEK.
To complete this week's milestone you must make at least 5 swaps throughout the week. Focus on swapping out a main dish, recipe ingredient, side or snack for a fruit or veggie.
HERE ARE SOME SIMPLE SUGGESTIONS: • Rather than a regular hamburger, try a veggie or black bean burger topped with delicious grilled veggies. Check out this yummy Monster Veggie Burger (top left) with Green Giant™ Garden Fries (top right).
• Swap French fries for a side salad or carrots.
• Swap out your afternoon candy for an apple with peanut butter.
• Make spinach or mushroom lasagna instead of meat lasagna (or use both)! Here are two of our favorites – ROASTED VEGETABLE LASAGNA (bottom left) or HEALTHIFIED™ SAUSAGE-STUFFED SHELLS (bottom right). Both are great recipes to make for family or friends! |

1. Let’s serve up some ground rules to make it simple to eat 5 cups of fruits and veggies a day. Forget about what constitutes a serving and focus on cups. The half plate rule is also an excellent guide – half your plate should be fruits and veggies.
2. You'll find more success with a healthy eating plan that fits your lifestyle than jumping on the latest diet fad. You can still eat what you love, just add more fruits and veggies.
3. Does it matter if it’s fresh or frozen, canned or juice? For the Go Giant Challenge, a cup is a cup – so if you’d rather drink some of your fruits and veggies, that’s fine – just make sure to choose 100% juice with little or no added sugar. Frozen veggies and fruits are convenient and have the same essential nutrients as fresh. And remember, eating a variety of forms of fruits and veggies maximizes nutrition.

We know that changing habits takes time - every day you commit to eating fruits and vegetables is one day closer to establishing your healthy habits. |
