One More Veggie A Day

Nutrition

Women carrying a basket filled with vegetables.

Focus on ways to add just one more serving of vegetables each day.

*Microwave for faster cooking:Steam fresh or frozen green beans, broccoli or bok choy for a quick and easy side dish.

*Cut up and package for later:Use veggies like cauliflower and bell peppers in a stir-fry, casserole or as a snack.

*Frozen – just as nutritious as fresh:Good buys include frozen peas, corn and green beans.

*Enjoy vegetable soups:Look on the package for reduced-sodium or low-sodium. If you have time, make and freeze a large batch of soup with lots of added vegetables.
