Getting the most out of all of the produce that you buy is a great way to squeeze more fruits and vegetables into your diet.

You can buy these fruits and vegetables and eat them as simple snacks, or you can throw them all together into a salad with a lot less prep time involved.
Tip #11 - Create your own fresh yogurt. What you can do is buy plain yogurt from the store, which is the healthiest variety, and add a heaping serving of your favorite types of fruits such as peaches or berries in order to boost your intake of fruit for the take. The combinations of different fruits that you can add are virtually endless.
