The serving size for vegetables can differ depending on the food, but generally, a serving of vegetables is about 1 cup of raw or cooked vegetables or vegetable juice. However, the recommended daily goal for vegetable servings is 4-5 servings per day, which is equivalent to about 2 1/2 cups of vegetables. The American Heart Association recommends a similar goal of 4-5 servings of vegetables per day.

Here are some examples of what counts as a serving of vegetables:

• 1 cup of raw or cooked vegetables or vegetable juice
• 2 cups of raw leafy salad greens
• 1/2 cup of legumes
• 3 cups of leafy greens

Its important to note that more is always better when it comes to fruits and vegetables, and its recommended to aim for at least 6 servings per day. When adding fruits and vegetables to meals and snacks, it can be easy and fun to keep fresh, frozen, and canned fruits and veggies on hand to add to meals and favorite dishes.
