FDA Nutrition Guide

TIPS ON FRUITS AND VEGETABLES:\n1. Buy fresh fruits and vegetables in season because they cost less and have peak flavor.\n2. Keep a bowl of whole fruit on your kitchen table, countertop or inside the refrigerator.\n3. Buy vegetables that are easy to prepare, and try adding baby carrots and grape tomatoes to spice up a side salad.

FOR BEST NUTRITIONAL VALUE:\nFruits and vegetables high in potassium: bananas, prunes, dried fruits, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, spinach and lentils.\nAT MEALS:\n Make breakfast a little healthier by topping cereal with bananas and peaches, or add blueberries to pancakes. Consider 100% orange or grapefruit juice for a beverage. If you're into baking, add shredded carrots or zucchini to your muffin mix.\n Lunch can be a little healthier if you eat a tangerine, banana or a bunch of grapes. Try a salad as the main dish.\n Dinner gets better when you toss some mandarin oranges or grapes into a salad. Try a meat dish with vegetables or fruits in the recipe.
