Veggie challenge

Each day, keep a tally of the number of fruit/vegetable servings beside their name. The recommended servings for age and gender are found at the top of the chart.

1 serving of fruits or vegetables:

  • 1/2 cup chopped fruit or vegetables
  • 1 cup leafy greens
  • 1 medium apple, orange, tomato, etc.

Each day add a “Daily Challenge” to encourage family members to try something new or do something they don’t always do.

Some examples you can use:

  • Try a new vegetable
  • Eat a certain vegetable raw, cooked, etc.
  • Have a fruit with breakfast
  • Have 3 different vegetables with dinner

The Daily Challenge can be the same for all members or each member can have a unique one.

At the end of the week, reward yourselves for good performance. Enjoy a special outing or anything else the family agrees upon.

Here is where you can get your form:
