June is National Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Month!
Fruits and vegetables provide a variety of nutrients, vitamins, minerals and fiber. According to new research, a diet filled with colorful fruits and vegetables can help fight off cancer and boost our mood. Whether we eat them as a snack, on a salad or in smoothie, it’s important to have five servings of fruit and vegetables per day. To help encourage eating more fresh fruit and vegetables, the Health and Wellness Committee is conducting a contest for an opportunity to win a gift card.
Submit your favorite recipe that incorporates either fresh fruits and/or fresh veggies. We will randomly select two winners each will be awarded a $25.00 gift card. Need some inspiration? Click here Blueberry Zucchini Muffins Recipe Video.mov.
