13 Ways to Add Fruits & Veggies to Your Routine in a Tasty Way

Jamie · March 1, 2017 · Leave a Comment

I am a really picky eater and would much rather eat sugary treats than vegetables and even fruits.  However, I am trying to incorporate more healthy food into my diet.  I do enjoy many fruits and vegetables, but desserts are so much better and therein lies my problem.  So I’ve been looking into tastier options.  Here are 13 that I have found:

** Disclaimer: I have NOT tried these yet so I will update this post as I experiment. **
*** 2nd Disclaimer: I am lacking specific instructions for some of these;
(your help would be appreciated). ***

1. A DIP FOR APPLES:
Mix the following ingredients:
1/4 Cup Peanut Butter
2 TBSP orange juice
1/2 Cup Vanilla Yogurt

2. HEALTHY POPSICLES:
Freeze 100% Fruit Juice in popsicle molds

3. HEALTHY DESSERT:
Small bowl of fruit capped with a small scoop of ice cream
Examples: blueberries, strawberries, bananas, raspberries

4. SMOOTHIE:
Blend these ingredients:
3/4 cup juice
1/2 cup yogurt
1 cup frozen raspberries or blueberries

5. HEALTHY DESSERT:
Half peaches, drizzle honey and sprinkle with ginger and pecans.
Bake in the oven.  (I’m not sure about time or temperature… insights anyone?)

6. APPLE BAKE:
Core an apple, fill with nuts and dried fruit.  Bake.

7. VEGETABLE SIDE:
Steam green beans with onion. Add a garlic clove to the water

8. STIR FRY:

Pear and apple slices (peeled) in a skillet with a little butter.

12. ADDITION TO SALAD/SANDWICHES/ANTIPASTO:
