1 Minute Habit for June 23
Name one fruit and one vegetable you’ll eat today
Why This Habit Helps
This tiny act of intention makes healthy eating feel achievable rather than overwhelming—like setting a friendly playdate with nutrition!
You’re not committing to a diet, just choosing two real foods to include—simple, specific, doable.
What You’ll Do in 1 Minute
- Makes nutrition feel concrete and doable ('apple + carrots' beats vague 'eat better').
- Prepares your mind to notice and choose these healthy options later.
- Takes the guesswork out of snacks/meals—decision fatigue solved!
- Might inspire you to try new produce or preparations.
- Sets a positive tone for other food choices throughout the day.
Quick Overview
Healthy eating doesn’t have to start with a major grocery haul or meal prep marathon. It can start with one sentence: 'I’m going to eat a banana and some cucumbers today.'
The power is in the clarity—when you name it, you’re far more likely to follow through.
What the Research Says
How to Get Started
- Pause and name one fruit and one vegetable you have access to today—fresh, frozen, or even canned.
- Say them out loud or write them in your notes app—it makes it feel more official.
- Later in the day, check in and celebrate if you actually followed through. Tiny wins matter.
How to Adapt This Habit
If you’re a busy professional
Plan around your schedule—grab an apple for your commute and a veggie side with lunch. No kitchen required!
If you’re a parent
Let your kids name theirs too—it makes them feel involved and more likely to eat it.
Try something colorful and make it fun—like 'rainbow snack time!'
If you’re a student or learner
Add fruit to your breakfast or smoothie, and grab some baby carrots or snap peas for study breaks.

💬 Your Success Stories
I chose blueberries and cucumbers for the day. Later when I got hungry, I didn’t even think—I just reached for them. It felt easy, and honestly kind of satisfying. I even tossed in a few extra veggies at dinner without forcing it. Planning the combo helped more than I expected.
