I learned something about myself last week. When there are nicely arranged platters of fruits and veggies in the fridge, I eat about five times more fresh produce in a day than if it were all packaged up in separate containers.
It would be lovely to say that I’m exaggerating but it’s true! I had made fruit and veggie platters for a small retirement get together for my dad. Leftovers came home with me and I nibbled on them till they were completely gone. So I made smaller versions and found myself eating fresh veggies with every single meal!
What can I say? I’m a visual person and I like pretty things! Oh, the games I play to be healthier!
That’s an awesome Idea!
It has been really good for me!

Whatever works! If I don’t dice up the cantaloupe, it doesn’t get eaten. Same with carrots and celery. But making a plated arrangement, perhaps with a dip, would definitely move more produce. Love your idea!
It has made a huge difference for me. Plus it feels sort of decadent having a plate prepared that looks like it’s for company!
