Tip 1 : Choose 100% fruit juice when drinking juice, but eat whole or cut-up fruit more often.
Tip 2 : Try mixing different textures of fruits. For example, apples are crunchy, bananas are smooth and creamy, and oranges are juicy.
Tip 3 : Are you a fan of peanut butter and banana sandwiches? Try substituting other fruits.
Tip 4 : Some cheeses have a lot of sodium. Use them in small amounts to add flavor, and omit additional salt.
Tip 5 : Running short on time? Use a microwave to quickly "zap" vegetables. White or sweet potatoes can be baked quickly this way.
Tip 6 : Roasted pork tenderloin goes well with fruit. Serve with a fruit salad or a fruit salsa.
Tip 7 : Build a meal around beans or peas. Bean burritos are a quick and easy dinner entree.
Tip 8 : Try something new--choose less common whole grains (amaranth, quinoa, millet, and triticale). Look for recipes online.
Tip 9 : Eat potatoes with the peel to get more nutrients like fiber, iron and potassium.
Tip 10 : Use vegetable oils (olive, canola, corn, soybean, peanut, safflower, sunflower) rather than solid fats (butter, shortening).
