EMERYVILLE, Calif., March 26, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- About the Webinar: The statistics are alarming: Even though we think we're getting enough fruits and veggies, the truth is that less than 10% of Americans actually eat the recommended target of fruit each day, and it is even less for our vegetable intake. In fact, only 2% of kids meet the recommended serving of fruits and veggies a day. So, what can be done to help educate the public and reverse this disturbing trend?

Jamba Juice invites you to join Registered Dietitian and Nutritionist, Tara Gidus, MS, RD, CSSD, LD/N as she shares tips to incorporate more fruits and vegetables into everyone's diet.
