Tips from 4H
Serving Sizes of fruits and vegetables

Vegetables: (Get about 2 to 2.5 cups a day) 1 cup of vegetables =
 * 1 cup of most raw or cooked vegetables or vegetable juice
 * 2 medium carrots or a dozen baby carrots
 * 1 large sweet potato or 1 medium white potato
 * 2 cups raw leafy green vegetables (like lettuce). Yep, when counting raw leafy green veggies, two cups only counts as one!

Fruits: (Get about 1.5 to 2 cups a day) 1 cup of fruit =
 * 1 small apple (2.5” diameter)
 * 1 large banana (8” to 9” long)
 * 1 cup of chopped, cooked, or canned fruit like applesauce or fruit salad
 * 1 cup of fruit juice
 * 1/2 cup dried fruit

Think of it this way: A medium piece of fruit is about the size of a baseball! Source: [|PBS Kids]
