Healthy habits: food Groups

Everyone know that the food groups are super important, but sometimes it can be very hard to eat them all. I try to have at least 1 food from each major food group at each meal. Here are some great foods from each food group:

protien- eggs, meat, tofu

fruit- grapes, grapefruits, kiwis, strawberries, rasberries, apples, oranges, peaches, starfruit.

vegetables- lettuce(salad), potatoes, carrots, brocolli, celery.

dairy- yogurt, milk, cheese.

grain- bread or toast, rice, whole grain cereal, cream of wheat

Remember your body also needs fats and oils to function properly, a great way to get those fats and oils is by eating peanuts and peanut-butter.
