Serving Size Land Rhyme
Intro:
Hey, welcome to our picnic
here in Serving Size Land.
I'm Sara and I'm Stan. And we are here
to show the way
to serving size
in 5 a Day.
We like to talk in rhymes you see
It can be fun for Sis and me
Our picnic basket is the key
Just click it once and you will see
Juice:
Juice is good as you must know
100% fruit juice will help you grow
One small glass counts as one
Remember we want 5 a Day before we're done
So, if you start with juice every day
You can count one and be on your way
To counting up 5 fruits and vegetables each day
Cooked Vegetables:
We know that cooked vegetables are good
And, it only takes a half a cup to get what we should
So, when they are cooked or canned
Eating half a cup will be grand
It's easy to remember...when the vegetable is cooked
for each half a cup, you can count one "in the book"
Fresh Fruit:
Oh, fresh fruit is so good
You can enjoy it each day
Each piece that you have
Counts as one on the way
To meeting your 5 a Day goal, everyday
Raw Veggies:
When you want something crunchy
Raw veggies are great
Just have a whole carrot or sticks on your plate
They are easy to eat and travel so well
To places like picnics. Gee, that is swell
If you have 6 sticks, it counts as a serving
Isn't this fun...I can tell that you're learning
Dried Fruit:
When fresh fruit is dried you need to know
How much is a serving?
Well....Let us show
One serving of raisins will fit in your hand
Now you can remember that is the plan
And, we often have raisins here in 5 a Day Land
You need to know too
That a small box will do
It all counts as one
Of the five that we need
So listen to us and your total will lead
Up to the five every day and then we'll be glad
That you leaned how to count them so well on one hand
Salad:
A fresh salad is good to have every day
And when counting up salad
This is what we both say
Each cup of salad greens counts as a serving
You should have some fresh salad,
You look so deserving
So, when it is leafy and green
We measure a cup
It counts as a serving
As you add it all up
Canned Fruit:
If Canned fruits are your delight
We can show you how to measure them right
One serving size is half a cup
That's not too much when you measure it up
Half a cup is one serving, but at times we have more
So if you have a whole cup, it counts as two in your score
On your way
To 5 a Day
And remember the phrase
"In it's own juice" on the can
When you see that phrase
You know the fruit will be grand
It won't be too sweet, it will really be neat
Having canned fruit for a snack can be a great treat
Just half a cup, and you will know
You have done something good to help you grow
You've got it now...It's easy to see
You know your serving sizes as plain as can be
