Tip 1 : Include fruit at dinner! Add crushed pineapple to coleslaw or include orange sections or grapes in a salad.
Tip 2 : Cut-up fresh or canned fruit (canned in juice or water) makes a great waffle topping--you can skip the syrup and whipped cream.
Tip 3 : Adding 8 oz. of low-fat or fat-free milk to your meal is one of the easiest ways to get dairy.
Tip 4 : Use vegetable oils (olive, canola, corn, soybean, peanut, safflower, sunflower) rather than solid fats (butter, shortening).
Tip 5 : Order veggie pizza with toppings like mushrooms, green peppers and onions - ask for extra veggies!
Tip 6 : Drizzle melted dark chocolate on your favorite berries for a special treat!
Tip 7 : Did you know that calcium fortified soymilk (soy beverage) is considered part of the Dairy Group? Its nutrients are very similar to low-fat milk.
Tip 8 : Ordering in doesn’t have to mean a meal without vegetables. Order vegetable pizza or vegetable lo mein next time you have dinner delivered.
Tip 9 : For a fast lunch or supper, melt low-fat cheese over bread, add sliced tomatoes and sprinkle on chopped herbs.
