What specific strategies would you suggest to someone who wanted to incorporate fruits and vegetables into his or her diet to replace high-fat, high-sugar snack choices?


Buy fruits and vegetables that are easy to prepare. Buy precut packages of fruit. Consider frozen juice bars. Make a Waldorf salad. Keep a package of dried fruit in your desk or bag. As a snack, spread peanut butter on apple slices or top frozen yogurt with berries or slices of kiwi fruit. Shred some carrots or zucchini into meatloaf, casseroles, quick breads, and muffins. Include chopped vegetables in pasta sauce or lasagna. Keep a bowl of cut-up vegetables in a see-through container in the refrigerator.
