Today I vegged! That's it! 
That's all! 

Vegetables and fruit are nature’s fast food - just wash and go! There are lots of vegetables and fruits to choose from and many delicious ways to prepare them.

The Canada Food Guide recommends that you choose at least one dark green and one orange vegetable each day.
  • Try dark green vegetables such as: arugula, broccoli, chard, dandelion greens, gai lan, kale/collards, mustard greens, and salad greens including romaine lettuce, spinach or mesclun mix; and
  • Try orange vegetables such as carrots, sweet potatoes, squash, pumpkin or yams. Apricots, cantaloupes, mangoes, nectarines, papaya and peaches also contain vitamin A and can be chosen instead of one orange vegetable.
