4 YOU CAN DO IT! OVERCOMING BARRIERS TO EATING VEGETABLES & FRUITS Key points to review: Welcome all participants. Reintroduce yourself. Give brief description of the program name, current lesson number, and duration of program. Include your purpose as the facilitator (i.e., to introduce ideas that are supported by research, to give them the tools to make informed decisions about areas that affect their health and nutritional needs, and to identify topics that might be covered based on the curricula used in the program). Review the V.O.I.C.E. Principles Handout. Transition: Last week we talked about trying vegetables and fruits of all colors. At the end of the session, I asked you what new color of vegetable or fruit you might offer your family. Who would like to share their experiences? Today we will be talking about some barriers to eating vegetables and fruits and how we might overcome them. Let s begin today s session with some suggestions for how to address some barriers for being physically active. Who would like to share some ways they overcome barriers for including physical activity in their everyday activities? Teaching Note: Physical activity guidelines can be found at the following websites: Dept. of Health and Human Services: CDC: Activity 1: Keeping Costs Low Anchor Find a partner and tell your partner about your experience trying a new vegetable or fruit since we started this program. Who would like to share? What makes it easy to try new vegetables and fruits? What makes it difficult? Teaching Note: Record responses on flip chart paper.
5 YOU CAN DO IT! OVERCOMING BARRIERS TO EATING VEGETABLES & FRUITS Add Teaching Note: Summarize barriers mentioned by participants in the Anchor. Refer to the flip chart paper. We identified several barriers that might affect your decision to eat vegetables and fruits. Many times, the cost of vegetables and fruits can be seen as a barrier for families. There are many tricks you can use to make buying vegetables and fruits more affordable. Teaching Note: Pass out the Smart Shopping for Veggies and Fruits handouts to participants. Invite participants to read each point on the list, or you can read them aloud. It is possible to fit vegetables and fruits into any budget. There are many low-cost ways to meet your vegetable and fruit needs. Here are some smart shopping tips for buying vegetables and fruits: 1. Celebrate the season. Use fresh vegetables and fruits that are in season. They are easy to get, have more flavor, and are usually less expensive. Your local farmers market is a great source of seasonal produce. 2. Why pay full price? Check the local newspaper, online, and at the store for sales, coupons, and specials that will cut food costs. Often, you can get more for less by visiting larger grocery stores (discount grocers if available). 3. Stick to your list. Plan your meals ahead of time and make a grocery list. You will save money by buying only what you need. Don t shop when you re hungry. Shopping after eating will make it easier to pass on the tempting snack foods. You ll have more of your food budget for vegetables and fruits. 4. Try canned or frozen. Compare the price and the number of servings from fresh, canned, and frozen forms of the same vegetable or fruit. Canned and frozen items may be less expensive than fresh. For canned items, choose fruit canned in 100% fruit juice and vegetables with low sodium or no salt added on the label. 5. Buy small amounts frequently. Some fresh vegetables and fruits don t last long. Buy small amounts more often to ensure you can eat the foods without throwing any away. 6. Buy in bulk when items are on sale. For fresh vegetable or fruits you use often, a large size bag is the better buy. Canned or frozen fruits or vegetables can be bought in large quantities when they are on sale, since they last much longer. 7. Store brands = savings. Opt for store brands when possible. You will get the same or similar product for a cheaper price. If your grocery store has a membership card, sign up for even more savings.
6 YOU CAN DO IT! OVERCOMING BARRIERS TO EATING VEGETABLES & FRUITS Add: Continued 8. Keep it simple. Buy vegetables and fruits in their simplest form. Pre-cut, pre-washed, readyto-eat, and processed foods are convenient, but often cost much more than when purchased in their basic forms. 9. Plant your own. Start a garden in the yard or a pot on the deck for fresh, inexpensive, flavorful additions to meals. Herbs, cucumbers, peppers, or tomatoes are good options for beginners. Browse through a local library or online for more information on starting a garden. 10. Plan and cook smart. Prepare and freeze vegetable soups, stews, or other dishes in advance. This saves time and money. Add leftover vegetables to casseroles or blend them to make soup. Overripe fruit is great for smoothies or baking. Who has some other ideas on how to overcome the barrier of cost? Teaching Note: List any ideas on flip chart paper. Pass out Shopping Produce by the Season, and Maryland Produce Availability. These are for participants to take home to read later. Do not read these as part of the lesson. Apply Teaching Note: Refer to the 3 stations set with canned, frozen, and fresh vegetables and fruits and the corresponding price cards. The cards indicate the overall costs, servings per container, and price per serving for each item. Pass out the worksheets. Move around from station to station, identifying the cost of canned, frozen, and fresh vegetables and fruits. Record the price, servings per container, and price per serving on the worksheet. Discuss findings with a partner. If these were the prices of items at your grocery store this week, what would be the least expensive option for vegetables? For fruits? Away How will what you just learned change the way you shop for vegetables and fruits? Share your ideas.
7 YOU CAN DO IT! OVERCOMING BARRIERS TO EATING VEGETABLES & FRUITS Activity 2: Dips and Sauces for Taste Anchor Find a new partner and discuss the following topic: What experiences have you had with serving a new vegetable dish to your family? What was their reaction? Teaching Note: While participants are doing the Anchor, begin to heat the skillet for the Green Bean Sauté demonstration. Add Sometimes we don t eat a vegetable or fruit because it does not taste good to us naturally or we are unsure of ways to prepare it so that the whole family will enjoy the taste. These are taste and preparation barriers to eating vegetables and fruits. Most fruits are delicious without added sugar. What fruits do you think are sweet? Vegetables can be sweet or bitter. What vegetables taste sweet to you? What vegetables are bitter? Teaching Note: Discuss natural flavors of a variety of vegetables and fruits. Vegetables and fruits may change in taste and texture depending on how you prepare them. For example, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, and snap peas can be served raw with low-fat dip. When served raw, they have a crunchy texture and tend to be less sweet. Teaching Note: Demonstrate preparation of low-fat dip using the recipe cards. Invite participants to help. Ask those who volunteer to wash their hands. Set aside the prepared dish to taste after the warm vegetable demonstration (Green Bean Sauté). Cooking vegetables can enhance the sweetness of the vegetable and makes the texture more tender. You can steam, boil, or grill vegetables. The texture will depend on the amount of time they are exposed to the heat. To be healthy, try not to add extra salt or butter to vegetables. Instead, try using herbs, spices, or salt-free seasoning mixes.
8 YOU CAN DO IT! OVERCOMING BARRIERS TO EATING VEGETABLES & FRUITS Add: Continued Teaching Note: Demonstrate preparation of Green Bean Sauté as an example of cooked vegetables. Invite participants to help. Spray skillet with non-stick spray and add green beans. While they are cooking, ask participants to volunteer to measure out each one of the remaining ingredients. Talk about each ingredient and what flavors they might add to the dish. Teaching Note: Serve a tasting portion of low-fat dip with raw vegetables and cooked green beans. There are many ways to prepare similar vegetable dishes that are low-cost and tasty. Visit: the University of Maryland Food Supplement Nutrition Education website for easy to prepare recipes. You can look for recipe cards in the produce section of the grocery store for new ideas on preparing vegetables and fruits. Ask your family and friends for their favorite recipes. Apply Teaching Note: Give each group a small bag labeled Spices and Flavorings and a second small bag labeled Vegetables and Fruits. Work in small groups of 2-3 people. Using the small bags I just passed out, find pairs that match a Spice or Flavoring with a Vegetable or Fruit. For example, you might pair cinnamon with sweet potatoes. Who would like to share their group s ideas?
9 YOU CAN DO IT! OVERCOMING BARRIERS TO EATING VEGETABLES & FRUITS Away What new recipe or preparation method for vegetables or fruits will you incorporate into a family meal this week? I will look forward to hearing about this next time. Additional Teaching Notes: During the price comparison discussion: Talk about overall costs of preparation. Review the number of servings listed in each container. Which will provide the most servings at the lowest cost? Which has the potential to spoil before it is consumed? Other notes:
10 Fresh Fresh Fresh Number of servings per container Number of servings per container Number of servings per container per serving per serving per serving
11 Canned Canned Canned Number of servings per container Number of servings per container Number of servings per container per serving per serving per serving
12 Frozen Frozen Frozen Number of servings per container Number of servings per container Number of servings per container per serving per serving per serving
