It’s Tryfor5 week from the 14th to the 20th of October, a Nutrition Australia campaign to encourage Aussie’s to have 5 serves of veg daily. This year’s theme is ‘Small Change, Big Gains.’ We all know it’s important for wellbeing to get your 5 serves of veg every day, yet despite that, less than 4% are actually getting enough.
Here are some hot tips to make a small change for big gains when it comes to all the benefits of increasing the veg in your diet:
- Cut up cucumber, capsicum, baby corn or carrots to pair with a dip
- Aim for half of your dinner plate to be made up of veg
- When including veg in a meal aim for as many different colours as you can
- Include a serve of veg at breakfast: avocado, mushrooms, spinach, tomato
- Make your own veg based dips with beetroot, chickpeas, lentils or sweet potato
