How to Shop for Fruits and Vegetables

a delicious salad with lemon and maybe I'll play. And another that's unique flavor here with a little fresh ginger -- and -- I don't think of sweetness with some great. But the most important thing to remember is that we need

making a healthy salad. The first is that you wanna pick colorful veggies as your base. You should feel free to load up as many as you want to. And the goal is that -- for instance here we have yellow, red, and green peppers -- you don't want your salad just to be green because different colors provide different antioxidants. And if a salad is not mostly veggies , it's really not a salad -- so feel free, I mean, that really should fill you up between the fiber. Then you want to make sure that you pick a healthy lean protein, about the size of your palm -- that's a good portion size .

So I'm going to put in some lettuce as our base and then I'm gonna add three different colored peppers, and then some cucumbers . Here we have some celery and some mushrooms. And lastly some tomatoes. So really, our salad is going to be mostly vegetables. And then I'm gonna add my protein, which in this case is chicken. And again, it's roughly going to be about the size my palm -- so this is a good portion size right here. And then just to add some more variety, mix things up, I'm gonna put some grapes on it.
