5 Ways to Sneak 5 a Day

Okay, it's hardly news that you should be eating five servings of fruits and vegetables a day, but the fact is that many people don't. If you're one of those people with the best of intentions, but... use these tips for sneaking servings into your meals, courtesy of the American Dietetic Association:

Wake up to fruit. Make a habit of drinking juice or complementing cereal, yogurt or pancakes with sliced or dried fruit.

Try these "grate" ideas. Add grated, shredded or chopped vegetables, such as zucchini, spinach and carrots, to lasagna, meatloaf, mashed potatoes or pasta dishes.

"Sandwich" in fruits and vegetables. Add pizzazz to sandwiches with sliced pineapple, apple, pepper, cucumber and tomato as fillings.

Get creative with pizza. Order pizza (or make it "deluxe") with vegetable toppings: broccoli, carrot shreds, thinly sliced zucchini, chopped spinach, red and green bell pepper strips, chopped tomato or any other vegetables.

Stuff an omelet with vegetables. Turn any omelet into a hearty meal with broccoli, squash, carrots, peppers, tomatoes and onions.
