I try to eat fruit and veggies at every meal.. ie berries with breakfast or an omelet with veggies, lunch and dinner are usually a combo of protein and sauteed veggies, and if I eat snacks I try to do a banana + peanut butter or carrots and hummus.

I'm in the midst of making a serious effort to get in plenty of veggies and fruit every day and it does gets hard sometimes.

But I'm eating some with every meal - I've been having steamed veggies at breakfast, sometimes on their own or sometimes mixed in an omelet, eating salad whenever I can for lunch or dinner, and also roasting a lot of veggies - just chop everything the same (roughly) size, coat with a little bit of olive oil or coconut oil (amazing with sweet potatoes!), salt, and pepper, and plop in the oven (350 or 400) for 20-30 minutes.

Fruit is easy for me - I could eat fruit all day every day, but I'm trying to only do 2 servings a day so I will eat more vegetables.

For both, I try to do all the prep work I can as soon as I get home from the grocery store -- being able to grab some already sliced strawberries, or already chopped up carrots makes it easier.

I had a really hard time managing 5-6 veggie servings a day in early pregnancy when almost all vegetables grossed me out. I survived by chugging V-8.

I agree that smoothies are the best way. You can add yogurt to the smoothie too, to get more calcium

I kept some low sodium V-8 at my desk for the days when I knew I wouldn't get enough veggies. I don't mind the taste of it at all so it was easy to get one of those in.
