8 Tips to Add More Fruits to your Diet

1. Keep Visible reminders  

Keep a huge bowl full of fresh fruit in plain sight for easy grabbing. 

2. Think about taste

Buy fresh fruits when they are in season when they are less expensive and at their peak flavor. 

3. Think variety 

Buy fruits that are dried, frozen, and canned (in water or 100% juice), in addition to fresh so that you always have a variety. 

4. Don’t forget the fiber. 

Prioritize WHOLE fruits rather than juice for the benefit of die

tary fiber. 

5. Be a good role model for your children

Set an example by eating fruits with meals or as snacks. Eating fruit for dessert is a great habit to share with your children. 

6. Fruits are for dessert 

Eat fresh fruit as your dessert. Top it with vanilla Greek yogurt to add creamy texture and sweetness similar to ice cream.

7. Mix it up 

 Add berries, bananas, raisins and apples to cereal or yogurt.

8. Keep Fruits safe

Be sure and wash your fruits thoroughly before eating.
