Tip 1 : Tasty and easy fruit sauces can be made in your blender. Try combining fruits, such as pear and mango, or a variety of berries.
Tip 2 : Vary your veggies. Try new vegetables and find recipes online. Why not try bok choy, artichokes, beets, or kale?
Tip 3 : Rinse and rub veggies under running water so that dirt and microbes can't be transferred to the food when peeling and cutting.
Tip 4 : Try grilling, broiling, poaching, or roasting protein foods. These cooking methods don't add extra fat.
Tip 5 : Eat the most perishable fruit first. Bananas only last a few days, while apples will stay crisp in the fridge for over a week.
Tip 6 : Whole-grain pasta is great in baked dishes (lasagna, mac & cheese). Give a taste test and see if anyone can tell the difference.
Tip 7 : For a change, try whole-wheat pasta in macaroni and cheese or pasta salad.
Tip 8 : Add a vegetarian protein food to make a salad into a main dish--try garbanzo beans, kidney beans, soybeans or sunflower seeds.
Tip 9 : Choose unsalted nuts as a snack, on salads, or in main dishes. Use nuts to replace, not add to, other protein foods.
Tip 10 : Puree your leftover roasted tomatoes and make an easy homemade soup. Check out recipes online for ingredients you'll need.
