WIAW - Fruit and Veggies

Welcome back to another week of WIAW. This week I incorporated a lot of fruit and veggies into WIAW so I could update you on how I am doing with my Fruit and Veggie Challenge.

Breakfast yesterday was a banana berry smoothie which consisted of a banana, raspberries, chia seeds, ground flax seed, vanilla protein powder, wheat germ and almond milk.

My mid morning snack was an ezekiel cinnamon raisin english muffin with peanut butter and raisins. I am in love with these english muffins lately, they are so filling and delicious!

Lunch was a spinach salad with strawberries, rotisserie chicken and a laughing cow light cheese wedge. I enjoyed the salad with a piece of whole wheat bread.

As you can see I have been incorporating lots of fruits and veggies into my diet in various ways to ensure I get my minimum of 5 servings a day. Some days are harder than others but I notice that it is a lot easier to incorporate fruit into my diet as opposed to veggies.

Dinner was not so good last night, the only thing that was good was the corn on the cob. I had purchased a few swordfish kebabs the other day at Whole Foods since they were on sale, but unfortunately they were not very good. Lesson learned if I want swordfish buy the swordfish steak not the kebabs.

    

Question: How do you incorporate veggies into your daily meals?

Fruit and Veggie Challenge

I am taking on a fruit and veggie challenge for the next 30 days which will be to eat at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetable per day. This challenge was inspired by Diana over at The Chic Life.

This challenge will not only by fun but will also help me with some of my June Goals.

How to Play
Goal: Eat at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables every day for the month of June.

What’s a serving?: My guideline for serving with be about 60 calories for fruit and about 25 calories for vegetable. It can be tough to measure calories for fruits and veggies so you can estimate by saying a single piece of fruit is a serving or if you make a smoothie that counts as a serving of fruit.  It is completely up to you how strict or lax you are about the serving portions.

How many servings should I eat? During this challenge the minimum serving size should be 5 servings of fruits and vegetables per day but always feel free to incorporate more if you can.

Have fun and let me know if you are going to join me in this challenge by leaving a comment and a link to your blog.
