National Fruit and Veggies Month!
Fruits and veggies are amazing for our health! They help our brains and bodies function optimally. What’s even better is they’re a natural source of energy that increases our performance, focus, concentration, and productivity! It is recommended that everyone eat 5-8 servings of fruits and veggies every day! Sometimes it is hard to consume all of the fruits and veggies that our bodies need each day. Check out our creative tips for getting those servings!
Here are 8 Tips to Increase Your Fruits and Veggies:
- Start with the first meal of the day! Eating fruit for breakfast is an easy way to get in a few servings of healthy foods right away. Plan on eating a serving or two of fruit first thing in the morning.
- Snack on fruits or veggies for extra energy! Did you know that carbohydrates in fruit and veggies are sources of fuel. Combine these with some protein like cheese, yogurt, or peanut butter for an extra boost.
- Use fruit and veggies as ingredients. Some different recipes that you can create with veggies are chili, cauliflower pizza crust.
- Get creative! Try a new fruit or veggie recipe each week. Meal plan and think ahead of time of something new that you could try.
- Smoothies are a great way to consume more fruits and veggies. Combine blueberries, spinach, bananas, and some greek yogurt for a delicious and nutritious drink.
- When making your dinner plate double up on your veggie serving.
- One of my favorite things to do is turn vegetables into noodles! Zucchini noodles are delicious with some pasta sauce on top.
- Prep meals ahead of time so you have a plan to consume more veggies. Make a list of meals for the week that have both fruits and veggies so you can make sure you’re getting the nutrients you need.

Celery Juice Benefits!
Celery Juice Benefits & Recipe
Celery juice has become really popular, so chances are you have heard of it as a new health fad. Although it is coming into greater awareness recently, celery juice has been around for a while and has become popular for good reason as it is helping people restore their health and rejuvenate their bodies!
As with many natural, miraculous food remedies, there are no research studies on the benefits of celery juice. This is simply because there is no big lobby or company behind celery. Since you can just go buy celery at the grocery store, there is no entity willing to pay tens of thousands to millions of dollars to do this research if they’re not going to make any money from it. Thankfully there is still lots of testimonials out there for celery juice as hundreds of thousands of people have shared their life changing benefits. And it’s so simple – just wash a whole head of organic celery, put it through the juicer and drink the celery juice on an empty stomach first thing in the morning.
As a scientist, I decided to give celery juice a chance and for the last 2 months, I have been drinking celery juice everyday. After just a couple weeks I had more energy, mental clarity and focus in the mornings after drinking it. I found myself snacking less, my digestion was great and felt very nourished. My skin got more clear and I even lost a few pounds! I am now a believer in celery juice and will keep drinking it everyday to gain some of the long term benefits!
