Shopping Guide > Aisle 6: Produce
It’s as easy as (apple) pie to get your “Five a Day” (the
number of servings of fruits and vegetables recommended by the American
Cancer Society) when you eat a vegetarian diet. Fruits and vegetables are
great sources of essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. They have
also been proved to lower the risk for strokes, heart disease, certain cancers,
and high blood pressure. Sneak fruits and veggies into your favorite recipes
by replacing meat with eggplant, eggs with apple sauce and bananas, and
dairy products in soups with puréed potatoes or cauliflower. Pump
up the vegan quotient even further by adding grilled or sautéed veggies
to burritos, lasagna, spaghetti sauce, “meat” loaf, and casseroles.
Instead of a soda, reach for a frothy smoothie made from frozen fruit (add
bananas instead of milk for a creamy texture).
