There are undeniable benefits of fruits and veggies in maintaining your health, including reducing cancer risk and preserving your brain and heart health. However Most Canadians are not eating enough fruits and vegetables – in fact in the 2021 Statistics Canada report, only 21.8% of Canadians reported eating 5 servings of fruit and veggies a day.
These easy plant-based lunch boxes make it easy to make half of your plate fruits and veggies – and I guarantee you and your kids will love them! For the vegetables in these boxes, I used colourful and fresh root vegetables from Gwillmdale Farms.
