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.
