7 Days of Smoothies to Boost Your Fruit and Veggie Intake

We’ve all heard the advice: eat more fruits and veggies. This isn’t just a health trend—it’s a foundational truth backed by decades of research. Fruits and vegetables are essential for good health, yet nearly 90% of Americans still don’t meet the daily recommended intake. That means most people are missing out on vital nutrients that help protect against chronic diseases and keep our bodies running at their best.

So, what makes fruits and vegetables so important? For starters, they’re packed with vitamins, minerals, fiber, antioxidants, and water, all of which play key roles in supporting everything from digestion and immunity to skin health and energy production. In fact, it’s been estimated that fruits and veggies provide 80% of the vitamin C and 50% of the vitamin A in a balanced diet—two nutrients that are critical for immune function, vision, and healthy skin.

Studies show that diets rich in fruits and vegetables can lower the risk of heart disease, diabetes, certain cancers, and even support mental well-being. Fruits and veggies are naturally low in calories, free of added sugars, and loaded with nutrients our bodies crave—making them one of the most powerful tools we have for living longer, feeling better, and thriving every day.
