We're still not eating our fruits and veggies, according to a recent government study.
It can be overwhelming to fit in the dietary recommendations of five or more each day (check serving sizes here), even though we know these healthy choices decrease the risk of
heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and they help us control our weight. Check out the food pyramid posted in the group Healthy Recipes & Healthy Foods.
I try really hard, and yesterday, I only got three. I'm wondering how other CafeMoms stack up.

Even though I have really good eating habits, I knew I still wasn't eating as many servings as I needed. I solved the problem by drinking 3 glasses of vegetable juice a day. Doesn't really matter what brand, although I try to watch the sodium content and make sure there aren't any additives, preservatives, sugar, etc. A great benefit is that my hair has gotten a lot thicker and has a lot more body than it had before. Even my eyelashes have gotten thicker. I had a woman ask me the other day if my eye lashes were real. I love just about every vegetable, but discovering the advantages of vegetable juice has been great. It's also handy to cook with. If you have any left over veggies, dump them in a pot and pour some vegetable juice over them for a quick and tasty soup. Flavor it with various spices. Real time saver.
I get 13 if not more a day - I drink MonaVie - plus I am a fruit and veggie eater by choice - love all produce. If organic the better - i am very sensitive to the herbacides and pesticides that the produce market uses
I eat fairly well, All of my dinners and lunch and snacks have veggies and fresh fruit in them or with it, I can eat more and i am working on that.
I eat pretty much 5 or more per day. Two servings at brekkie ( fresh fruit plus juice), fruit snack mid-morning, veg for lunch, sometimes another fruit or veg for afternoon snack, then one or two veg for supper.
My family and I consume MonaVie everyday. We get all the nutrients our bodies needs out of 19 fruits from all over the world. My kids have not gotten sick since over a year ago, and I truly attribute that to MonaVie. They are as healthy as can be. If anyone would like to know more about it, please email me.
JUICE PLUS+ has totally changed my families health. My husband and I take 2 Fruit supplements in the morning and 2 Veggie supplements at night. That gives us 13 servings of fruits and veggies daily. AND best of all my sons supplements are FREE!!!! He likes the chewable tablets. They also have Gummies. He is able to concentrate better in school. Another benefit is that there is NO Sugar or artificial ingredients in JUICE PLUS+. It' just dehydrated fruits and veggies! If you would like more info. I'm happy to share my story with you. OH, AND IT HELPS YOU LOOSE WEIGHT BY KEEPING YOU FULL LONGER!!!
