Got vegetables?
Nearly every diet or healthy eating pattern—from Mediterranean to low-carb to DASH—wants a piece of them. But most of us are falling short...and missing out. Who can resist garlicky sautéed ’shrooms, candy-sweet roasted tomatoes, or a creamy kale Caesar salad?

Why fresh fruits & veggies are the best snacks
Go for fresh or frozen, not dried. They’re loaded with water and low in calories per bite.
Eat more fruit
When it comes to fruit, it’s not just about the vitamins and minerals (plenty) or the calories (few). Just think about a sweet summer peach, a wedge of juicy watermelon, or a succulent mango. You’ve got yourself a bite that’s pretty much perfect.
