The holidays are a great time to enjoy a variety of fruits and vegetable a day!

-
Bowls of fresh fruit are a festive and sweet substitute for candy or
chocolates
- Remember calories add up! This is especially true during the
holidays when we snack more. For a healthy snack, choose a piece of
fresh fruit!
- You've tried the leftover turkey sandwich; now try the leftover
turkey salad! Add a few pieces of turkey to a generous portion of mixed
greens, cucumbers, mushrooms, peppers, or any other vegetables you like.
Sprinkle with dried cranberries for that authentic holiday taste.
- Check out

variety of fruits and vegetables!
Overcome the urge to overeat!
- Standing by the buffet table is temptation to overeat! Remember
holiday parties are a time to celebrate with family and friends, not
just food.
- It's easy to overindulge during the holidays; make sure to watch
portion sizes and select one or two of your favorites from all those
tempting foods.
- Leave those extra calories behind—
take the butter and sugar off
the table.
Tasty Presents
Packed With Color
- For a unique and healthy holiday gift, try going to your farmer's market
or grocery store and selecting fresh fruits and vegetables. Place all
your tasty treats in a basket, and you have a distinctive present packed
with goodness!
