Take the Challenge

Take the VegOut! Challenge this March: Eat 30 vegetables in 30 days 

Eating plenty of fresh produce is one of the simplest ways to lead a healthier lifestyle. Fresh vegetables are rich in vitamins, minerals and nutrients, so eating them regularly can help prevent disease and boost the immune system. That’s why during the month of March Recipe for Success Foundation hosts the VegOut! Challenge in support of National Nutrition Month. Participants nationwide step up to the plate -- and pile it with veggies, 30 different veggies within 30 days that is! Entire schools, companies, families and friends can all take part together by vegging out as a team to make healthy eating a fun adventure!. For more info, e-mail vegout@recipe4success.org. 

The 2015 VegOut! Challenge begins on March 1, so come along on this easy, delicious food adventure. 

The VegOut! Challenge is easy peas-y:  

1. REGISTER for the 2015 VegOut! Challenge at vegoutwithrfs.org

2. EAT YOUR VEGGIES: Try a different vegetable each day or gobble 30 veggies all at once. We don't care how you eat 'em as long as you log 30 different fresh vegetables during March on your Veggie Log.

3. SHARE: Spread the word with your pictures and videos on social media, start a team, post your best ideas and recipes to our website, and get your family, school, colleagues and community involved. Use #vegoutrfs to share your progress and see what other challengers are up to on social media.
