Tip #19 - Try chilling out by purchasing frozen fruits and vegetables.

Tip #21 - Enjoy a nice cold glass of 100% fruit juice or vegetable juice in place of coffee, soda or tea. One single glass of 6 or 8 ounces of juice is a really delicious way for you to get in a serving worth of fruits and vegetables with little effort.

Great post, great ideas!
I love smoothies. I try to add extra greens in whatever I make to make sure I get plenty in my diet. For example, adding a handful of spinach to a fruit smoothie doesn’t change the taste and a greens powder with spirulina can also go relatively unnoticed.
