Fresh Fruit and Veggies

 June is National Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Month. There is no better time to work on incorporating fruit and veggies to your little ones diet.

Try to choose at least one dark green and orange vegetable per day.
Prepare with little to no fat, sugar, or salt.
Limit juice to a half a cup of 100% juice per day.
