Tip 1 : Expand your fruit horizons--have you tried papaya, passion fruit, litchi, star fruit, or pomegranate?

Tip 2 : Fruit is a very handy, ready-to-go food. Many kinds can be eaten with little to no preparation other than rinsing.

Tip 3 : Change up your salads. Add surprise ingredients to your routine salads, such as Swiss chard, mango, or tuna.

Tip 4 : Add vegetarian meat substitutes (like tempeh or tofu) to soups and stews to boost protein without adding saturated fat or cholesterol.

Tip 5 : "Juice drinks" aren't real fruit juice--look for 100% juice on the label.

Tip 6 : Make split pea soup with new flavors--try adding caramelized onions and cumin or different vegetables like pumpkin.

Tip 7 : Some cheeses have a lot of sodium. Use them in small amounts to add flavor, and omit additional salt.

Tip 8 : On long car trips, pack fruit to snack on! Bananas, apples, plums, grapes, and nectarines all travel well!

Tip 9 : Rather than buying a vegetable pizza from a restaurant or a store, try sprucing up a cheese pizza with your favorite vegetables.

Tip 10 : Tip for eating out: Share entrées with a friend. Have one person order a meat dish, and the other order a vegetable dish or a large salad.
