A Few Covert Methods for a Healthy Diet Plan

It is common knowledge that a daily healthy diet plan should contain at least five servings of fruits and vegetables. Here are a few ways to make getting those servings of fruits and veggies as fun and easy as possible.

Have a smoothie for breakfast. A fun, purple color is a hit with the kids after blending mixed berries (easily available in the frozen food section of the supermarket) and a banana with some yogurt and milk or juice. Loaded with vitamins and anti-oxidants, this is an easy breakfast to keep fresh and variable, just change-up the fruits to suit individual tastes.

Make trail-mix. It is not only less expensive in the long run, but by taking control of the ingredients, the good elements can be expanded while limiting unwanted additions. Buying nuts and dried fruits in bulk is a cost-effective way to pack a nutritious snack for an on-the-go lifestyle and aid in adhering to a healthy diet plan.

Substitute vegetables for bread. When snacks involve a dip of some kind (humous, salsa, guacamole, etc) swap the bread, crackers, and chips for celery, carrots, and peppers. It's an easy way to make sure you meet the daily recommended servings for vegetables that way.

Load up sauces and stews with extra veggies. The "Holy Trinity" of vegetables in French cuisine is called a mirepoix, consisting of carrots, onions, and celery. Not only will sauting a base for sauces and stews out of these vegetables boost the flavor of what is being cooked, but it will boost the nutritional value as well. For example, this is a great technique that can be used to hide another serving of vegetables in a spaghetti sauce.

By incorporating these ideas into a family's healthy diet plan, meeting the daily recommended number of servings for fruits and vegetables can be convenient and enjoyable. This is a great way to lose weight quickly.
