Quick & Easy Ways to Eat More Fruits and Vegetables

First Paragraph:
In June 2011, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) introduced MyPlate as its new nutrition guide. Both MyPlate and the 2015 Dietary Guidelines for Americans promote integrating more balance into the American diet, while adding emphasis to eating more plant foods by making half of the food on American’s plates fruits and vegetables. Likewise, experts suggest that we eat 5–9 servings of fruits and vegetables every day.
