This challenge has been an interesting one for me. At first I thought it would be a little tough to consistently consume enough fruits and vegetables. Steph and I were discussing the various amounts of several fruits and vegetables which qualify to be full servings. It sounded like a lot more than I regularly consume. As I've paid more attention, though, I've realized that my only really consistent deficit is with fruit. I eat plenty of salad and cooked vegetables, but my fruit intake is lacking. I enjoy fruit, but it always seems like more of a hassle than it's worth. Just ask Steph about the time I refused to peel oranges so she bought a special tool to make it easier so I would at least eat one once in a while.
Enter V8 fusion. I do not like the taste of old-fashioned V8. Perhaps hate would be a better description. So when I first tried the Pomegranate Blueberry a few months ago I was pleasantly surprised. It actually has a decent taste. It contains 1 serving of fruit and 1 serving of vegetables. One hundred calories per can (that's 10 more than a standard size banana, 20 more than a medium apple). Pop a top and swallow a few times and you're done. Not a bad little boost. Plus they just happen sell them at the hospital cafeteria, so that makes it a little easier.
How are you getting your fruits and vegetables?
Does the cherry Pepsi count as a fruit serving?
ReplyDeleteWhat about key lime bars? That's the one I was wondering about Stephanie.
