Adolescents need at least 2-3 servings of fruits and 2-3 servings of vegetables a day. 1 serving of fruits could come from ½ a cup of canned fruits or fruit juice, 1 apple or orange or peach or pear, 15-20 grapes, or 1½ cups of fresh berries. Examples of a serving of vegetables include 1 cup of raw vegetables or ½ a cup of cooked vegetables, 2 cups of salad greens, 1 cup of vegetable juice or tomato juice.
