How Many Fruits and Veggies Does My Child Need?

MyPlate recommendations state children need about 2½ cups of vegetables and 2 cups of fruit each day. But what equals a cup?
One cup of fruit
equals:                                                          
  • 1 cup of cut up fresh, frozen or canned fruit
  • 1 cup of unsweetened applesauce
  • ½ cup of dried fruit
  • 32 grapes
  • 1 small apple
  • 1 cup of 100% fruit juice

One cup of vegetables equals:
  • 1 cup of fresh, frozen or canned non-leafy veggies
  • 2 cups of leafy greens like spinach or lettuce
  • 1 cup of cooked legumes (dried, cooked beans or split peas)
  • 12 baby carrots
  • 1 large bell pepper (size of a softball)
  • 1 cup of 100% vegetable juice
 
It is very difficult to get a total of 4 ½ cups of fruits and veggies each day, so work first on increasing how often you eat them and try to have a fruit or vegetable with every meal or snack.
