You Need Your Vegetables

There are five categories of vegetables, and you need them all. Vegetables are nutrient-packed, high in fiber, and are a good choice for those trying to reduce calories.

This week, focus on two of the categories and incorporate them into your diet every day:

  • Dark greens - these include broccoli, spinach and other leafy greens.
  • Orange - carrots, squash, pumpkin, and sweet potatoes.

Have fun including them into your normal dishes, or try a new recipe! Discover more about vegetables, including recommended serving sizes, at http://www.mypyramid.gov/.
