Great Tips to Include Veggies in Your Day

• Don't leave home without them! Make it a habit to carry vegetables and fruit with you at all times. Pack them in your briefcase, purse, knapsack, or glove compartment. Easy-to-carry options include apples, pears, bananas, clementines, canned fruit cups, baby carrots, cherry tomatoes, dried fruit, grapes and juice paks.
• Everyone loves veggies and dip - including kids. Dip away with carrot sticks, red or green pepper strips, florets of broccoli or cauliflower, mushroom caps and more. Use a low fat creamy salad dressing for dipping.
• Fruits like sliced bananas, apples, pears and berries are also great for dipping. For a fast and tasty dip use a low fat fruit-flavoured yogurt or cream cheese.
