Actress Amanda Holden probably can’t identify with the latest findings that Americans aren’t getting enough vegetables and fruit consumption is lower than before and not just because she’s British.

“This is going to make me sound like Martha Stewart, but I always start the day with a fresh fruit smoothie,” The Daily Mail reports Holden as saying. “I eat stacks of vegetables because I’ve been a vegetarian since I was 13.”

For the produce consumption challenged (which sometimes includes vegetarians), deliberately eating at least 3 servings of vegetables a day may take a little creative work. Treehugger suggests digging up old enemies from childhood and retrying those vegetables to see if your adult palate is more welcoming.

For the highly motivated, there are 19 ways to get 9 servings a day. Here are a few of the suggestions.

Eat dried fruit

Have veggie soup

Drink your produce (remember, you walk crooked when you don’t get a V8)

Gasp…Go through the fast food drive through for a salad. (You should probably opt out of the dressings, which are more than likely high in fat, calories and animal ingredients.)
