1 Serving of Fruit =

• one medium sized fruit (like an apple or banana)


• 1/2 cup of raw, cut up, canned, or frozen fruit


• 1/2 cup of grapes or about 15 grapes


• 1/2 cup of berries


• 1/4 cup of dried fruit (like raisins or apricots)


• 3/4 cup or 6 oz of 100% fruit juice

How to Serve Fruit

• Fresh: Eat it straight from the store or market but make sure to wash them first.


• Canned: Always choose canned fruit that is in water, its own juice, "lite syrup" to keep down the sugar.


• Frozen: Frozen fruit is just as healthy as fresh. Be careful though, some have added sugar or syrup so be sure to read the label.


• Dried: Examples include raisins, apricots, dates, or cranberries.


• Juiced: Make sure label says 100% fruit juice. If it's not 100% fruit juice, it cannot be counted as a serving of juice.

1 Serving of Vegetables =

• 1/2 cup of raw chopped, cooked, canned, or frozen vegetables, such as carrots or corn.


• 1 cup of raw leafy green vegetables like raw spinach or lettuce.


• 1/2 cup of cooked legumes, like pinto beans, black beans, or chickpeas.

How to Serve Vegetables

• Fresh: Eat them whole or cut up. Make sure to always wash them first.


• Canned: Canned vegetables usually have added salt. Buy canned vegetables labeled "low-salt" or "low sodium" OR buy regular canned vegetables and rinse in a colander.


• Frozen: Frozen is just as healthy as fresh. To avoid extra fat, choose frozen vegetables that do not contain any added butter, margarine, or sauces like cream or cheese.
