Week 1: include 2 servings of fruit and vegetables in breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Veggies are a no brainer for me - I already eat at least two servings of veggies with every meal. I am, admittedly, a horrible fruit eater, and have to remind myself to even get in one serving of fruit a day.
So this is a perfect way to start off this challenge!
In the true spirit of the challenge, I would like to incorporate 6 different fruits per day. Now, to have two different fruits at each meal would be tough - a lot of food!
Since my meals typically are 3 larger meals and 2 snacks, my goal is to incorporate 6 different fruits throughout these meals, while still having two smaller portions of fruit at breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
I won't post my meals every day, but here is my plan for today, to give you an idea. I truly believe that you must tweak your plan in a way that will make you successful, while still adhering to the spirit of the challenge.
Breakfast
bagel thin, laughing cow wedge, 3 egg whites, green pepper/red pepper/onion saute, half banana, 10 grapes
AM Snack
pink lady apple
Lunch
salad (lettuce, tomato, morningstar farms chicken patty - and a few extras from the salad bar, likely cucumber, onion, grated carrots), half banana, remaining grapes
PM SnackDinner
not sure what's on tap for dinner yet, either veggie postickers or Fish/side of veg/side of sweet potato fries
I'm not counting potatoes as my veg, so I will likely forgo those for a side salad or another veggie side that I whip up.
Fruit will be incorporated via a Vitamix smoothie with banana, strawberries, pluots, and blueberries!
