The Go Bananas wellness challenge is off to a strong start! Registration is now closed and 154 Cooper employees are participating for a chance to win a $500 gift card to Whole Foods.
Need some motivation to make healthier food choices this week? Here are five reasons why fruits and veggies make great snacks:
- There are lots of texture options including crunchy, chewy, soft, and crisp. Who doesn’t love the snap of a crisp green bean or the juiciness of a sweet orange?
- Color, color, color! Green, yellow, orange, and purple hues add pizzazz to your plate or serving dish.
- Fruits and veggies are packed full of potassium which is important for maintaining a healthy blood pressure.
- Mother Nature’s design of fruits and vegetables makes these tasty treats a true fast food.
- It is a vitamin and mineral bonanza when you include plenty of fruits and veggies in your daily intake. These essential nutrients boost energy levels and promote good health.
Remember to log your Go Bananas activities every day!
