A Month Long Challenge... Are You In?

Hello Everyone!! I have an exciting announcement... I am starting a month long challenge for the month of May! The challenge? Eat more vegetables. Simple as that.

You don't need to sign up or pay money, this is simply a challenge I am posing to all of you! Why is eating vegetables so important? Well, there are SO many reasons, but here is a scary one: obesity statistics are rapidly increasing, and do you know what the main cause of that is? Our diet. Processed, sugar-filled food is literally EVERYWHERE, and is so convenient to buy. If we all started to slowly change our diet to whole natural foods, we could prevent so much disease. And the best way to start? Making SMALL changes, such as eating more vegetables ;)

The recommended amount of vegetables to eat each day is 3 servings. This usually translates to about a handful of said vegetable, but can vary. My challenge to YOU is to eat more vegetables everyday. And "more" is different for everyone! If you hear the word "vegetable" and cringe, then I challenge you to eat 1 serving of vegetables each day. If you are used to eating veggies regularly, then I challenge you to eat 3-5 servings per day! Start small, but keep challenging yourself!

And this doesn't just mean eat more salad. You can sneak veggies into a stir-fry, a rice bowl, and even your smoothies! You can also experiment with homemade sweet potato or kale chips, or try roasting veggies in the oven. The options are basically endless!!

For the month of May, I plan to share ideas of how to make vegetables more tasty, some compelling reasons why you want to eat more of these nutrient-packed foods, and also some helpful tips! I hope you decide to join this challenge, and let me know if you are in! Also, spread this around so we can get more people involved!

Until next time,
Hannah
