Fruits and Vegetables on the go

Everyone knows that being in college isn't always easy to eat right all the time. Monday through Friday are always busy eating quick burgers and microwavable foods are getting you through the day. Besides the media talking about all the cancers, obesity, etc there are many reasons to try to eat healthy. The government guidelines say that we should eat 5 portions of fruits and vegetables, that's hard when we're always on the go. Here are a couple different ways you can eat quick while still getting your required fruits and vegetables. Smoothies are a great way to get your fruits, whether it's a no sugar smoothie from the store (stores even sell vegetable smoothies) or if you have time make a 10 minute smoothie. If you decide to make a smoothie at home you can make it for breakfast with your favorite fruits like banana, strawberries, grapes and such. Smoothies are also great for post workouts and a good energy booster mixing them with whey protein. Another easy way of eating healthy is snacking well. When you want a snack to hold you off till lunch instead of going to the vending machine to grab a candy bar or a chips, try substituting that with packing carrots or celery. By doing this you get just as filled up and you will energy besides crashing from the high sugar snack. Adding fruit to your breakfast and doubling the amount of vegetables at dinner also helps. When your eating cereal for breakfast chop up a banana or if your eating yogurt blueberries or raspberries. For dinner double the amount of vegetables on your plate that way you can fill up on those beside the meat and potatoes.
