Do your kids eat enough vitamin-packed fruits and vegetables? Odds are they don't. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, 83 percent of kids don't get the recommended amount of vegetables each day, and 85 percent don't meet the recommendations for fruit. An alarming number miss the mark by a long shot: 20 percent don't eat any vegetables at all on a given day, while 35 percent don't eat any fruit.

The thing is, the recommendations aren't that hard to meet. A large sweet potato counts as one cup of vegetables (that's two servings), and it takes only five or six decent-sized broccoli florets to fill a half cup (another serving). Add a cup of cooked spinach or collard greens (two more servings), and your kids have met their veggie quota for the day! Fruit is even easier: One large apple plus one small banana a day, and your kids will meet the minimum. One large orange, plus 16 seedless grapes or a small box of raisins will do the trick, too. Stock up on fresh, frozen, and canned (no added sugar or salt, though) fruits and vegetables, and it will be easy to sneak more into the family diet.
