(HealthDay News) -- It can be a challenge to fit enough fruits and vegetables into your daily diet.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention offers these ideas for using fruits and veggies as snacks:

• Spread whole wheat pita bread with hummus.
• Dip baked tortilla chips in black bean and corn salsa.
• Nibble on dried or fresh fruit, or drink a fruit smoothie.
• Have some low-fat or nonfat yogurt covered with slices of fresh fruit.
• Eat a ready-made salad.
• Dip fresh vegetables in a low-fat or fat-free dressing.
