September Is Fruit and Vegetable Month
in
Why not make a back-to-school healthy habit commitment to eat vegetables every day of this month. One fun activity that the whole family can do is to create "blind taste tests" where you set up five centers with new vegetables under cups that you taste blind-folded. That way the vegetable's appearance won’t corrupt your willingness to taste it. You can offer pleasant dips to help the less enthusiastic members – a yogurt dip, hummus or bean dip are 3 tasty and healthy options.
Make sure to wash all vegetables thoroughly and choose organic if you are planning to eat the peel as well.
