How much is considered one serving of fruits and vegetables?!
1/2 cup of fruit
1 medium piece of fruit
1/4 cup of dried fruit
3/4 cup (6 ounces) of 100% fruit or vegetable juice
1 cup of leafy vegetables
1/2 cup of cooked or raw vegetables
Trying to visualize the serving sizes? This may help:
1 medium apple or orange: the size of a tennis ball
1 cup vegetables or fruit: the size of a baseball
1 medium potato: the size of a computer mouse
1 cup of lettuce: 4 leaves
Answers: Eating at least 5 servings of vegetables and fruits each day may not be that hard to do when when you look at how small one serving really is:
1/2 cup of fruit
1 medium piece of fruit
1/4 cup of dried fruit
3/4 cup (6 ounces) of 100% fruit or vegetable juice
1 cup of leafy vegetables
1/2 cup of cooked or raw vegetables

A cup.
Honestly, I eat so far as fruit, the whole thing (apples, oranges, small melons, papaya, avocadoes, guava, mango) and with stuff like berries, I tend to eat a half pint (dry) at one sitting.
With salads, I can eat a whole bag or clear tub. Stuff like carrots, squash, turnip roots...I'd say I consider a serving like a 1/2 lb raw or cooked.
I eat more vegetables and fruit that all of the vegetarians I know. Go figure. And I'm in better shape and just plain look sexier.
I medium fruit or veggie or 1 cup of fruit or veggies.
Take those little baby tupaware that people put like apple sauce in for their kids lunches and thats a serving size
