Another great way of getting more fresh vegetables into your diet is by snacking on them. Buy baby carrots or other vegetables as a healthy alternative to chips. They don’t have cholesterol or sugar that processed snacks have and are filled with healthy vitamins, minerals and enzymes that your body so desperately needs. If you are not a fan of eating vegetables alone, there are great dips that accompany fresh veggies that are healthy, too.
