Fruits and Vegetables To Be Healthier and Happier

Fruits and vegetables don’t just help your health, a single serving can even make you happier. Check out the article we found at Blog FoodNetwork.

Since every serving counts when it comes to attaining fruit-and-veggie-induced bliss, here are some ways to painlessly sneak in extra servings throughout the day.
• Mix chopped veggies into your hummus or guacamole. Shredded carrots, diced tomatoes and julienned cucumber or zucchini blend in beautifully. Whether you eat it as a dip or a sandwich spread, you could add up to a full serving of veggies per serving of guac or hummus.
• Make your pizza dough out of minced cauliflower. Not only is it gluten-free, but it also makes your crust a rich source of vitamin C, vitamin K and other key nutrients.

• Break out the spiralizer. Replacing a bowl of pasta with a bowl of zoodles (spiralized zucchini noodles) can add at least one additional serving of vegetables to your meal.
• Don’t forget about fruit: Adding it to savory dishes can add interesting flavor and texture — not to mention numerous extra nutrients. Add apple or pear slices to your green salad, apple chunks to your chicken salad, grapes to your tuna.
