Celebrate Football Season With These Healthy Tips!
How can football season be here already? This time of the year, it is easy to forget the fruits and veggies at home during those tail-gate parties. Instead of filling your cooler up with all that red meat, choose a more balanced option. Since September is “Fruits & Veggies-More Matters Month,” we are focusing on eating MORE fruits and vegetables! Need some ideas? Check out our Harvest of the Month recipes!
More than 90% of both adults and children don’t eat the amount of fruits and vegetables recommended by the latest dietary guidelines for Americans. Fill at least half of your plate with fruits & veggies at every meal and snack.
