How to Enjoy Eight-Plus Servings of Vegetables and Fruits Every Day, part 6

Here are some helpful tips:

26. Prepare a big pot of homemade soup or stew (double the vegetables in the
recipe) and a salad or vegetable casserole over the weekend. Later in the week,
when you don’t feel like cooking, a healthy meal is ready and waiting for you.

27. If you eat organic meats, consider marinating them in fruit juices (try
pomegranate, raspberry, or cranberry) or concentrated fruit purées (soak dried
apricots or prunes in water to cover, and then purée in the blender). Add
rosemary, garlic, ginger, black pepper, thyme, oregano, or other spices.
Marinate overnight. Or try mixing 4 cup of mashed blueberries or prune purée
in each pound of ground bison (or organic, low-fat beef) for juicy burgers!

28. When eating out, ask to have an extra serving or two of vegetables (without
sauce) instead of bread, potatoes, or rice. And load up with lots of raw veggies
at the salad bar, like dark-green lettuces (avoid iceberg) and spinach.

29. Find yourself at a fast-food restaurant? Choose a salad and a baked potato
topped with salsa.

30. Add extra vegetables to soups, either homemade or canned.
