According to http://www.health.gov, the recommended daily serving of fruits is 4 servings and vegetables is 5 servings a day for active men. Now let’s be honest here, do you, or anyone you know eat 5 or more servings of fruits and vegetables a day? Probably not, but there are some alternatives.
If you’re not eat your recommended daily servings then you are missing out on the benefits that come with them.

Now If you’re unable to eat 5 servings of fruits and vegetables a day I would recommend trying a
greens supplements like this.
This is the stuff I personally use and you’re probably thinking this is just a container full of ground up vegetables. Wrong. It is actually a bunch of differently plant foods to give you the most benefits possible. The ingredient I find the most beneficial is the spirulina, which is probably one of the best superfoods out there. I have been taking a scoop of this every morning for about a week and I have felt considerably better throughout the day. I feel happier, healthier and generally have more energy. But remember greens supplements are NOT a substitute for real food, and if you are getting your recommended servings of fruits and vegetables then you probably don’t need a supplement like this.
A quick word of advice, don’t put the greens into a bowl of oatmeal or you will end up with this.
Now it may not be a looker but you might be thinking, it might not taste so bad. Wrong. The taste was absolutely dreadful, I even tried adding honey to sweeten it up a little but to no avail. This is all coming from personal experience. If you are going to be taking green supplements I would highly recommend putting it into some juice, that is the best way I have found for the best taste. But maybe you could try some experimenting of your own.
If you’re not eat your recommended daily servings then you are missing out on the benefits that come with them.
