Tip 2 : Bring a healthy option to a summer celebration. Offer hot, grilled fruit kabobs or cold and colorful cantaloupe and honeydew skewers.

Tip 3 : Support your health and community by buying locally-grown vegetables. Try visiting a farmers market near you.

Tip 4 : Get your vegetables while eating out. Request extra vegetables on your sandwich or wrap to boost your daily intake.

Tip 5 : Replace solid fats with oils, rather than adding oil to the diet. Oils are a concentrated source of Calories, so use oils in small amounts.

Tip 6 : To get calcium at lunch, use low-fat cheese on your sandwich.

Tip 7 : Try growing your own vegetables and herbs. You can start small with a few pots on your balcony or deck.

Tip 8 : Build a meal around beans or peas. Bean burritos are a quick and easy dinner entree.

Tip 9 : Add pureed vegetables, like carrots, sweet potatoes, and beans to soup for a thicker, heartier texture.

Tip 10 : Running short on time? Use a microwave to quickly "zap" vegetables. White or sweet potatoes can be baked quickly this way.
