Wow! Can you believe there are 100 days left in 2011? So, let us all commit to taking this challenge for the next 100 days, all the way up to December 31, 2011….and hopefully continue into the new year of 2012!
Everyday, you will challenge yourself to fill up half of your plate with vegetables and/or fruits. This is a great way to kids involved in what they are eating. They can help keep you accountable! Plan ahead, and when in doubt, throw some fresh veggies or a quick salad on the side.
Show Us You’ve Made Half Your Plate Fruits & Veggies!

Making It Simple: The Half-Your-Plate Concept
What does a serving of broccoli look like?
How many baby carrots are in a cup? Even the most well-versed nutrition
professionals don’t have all these measurements memorized! So let’s make
it easier: fill half your plate with fruits and vegetables at each meal or
eating occasion.
Making fruits and vegetables the focal point of every meal will help you meet
your recommended amount each day—and you won’t have to do all the math!
So … Keep It Simple: Fill half your plate with colorful fruits and
vegetables at every meal!
