Merisant Company - Food Menu

Tip 1 : Sprinkle fiber rich, whole-grain cereal on top of low-fat yogurt for a snack.

Tip 2 : Make half your plate fruits and vegetables. Be adventurous and try a new fruit and vegetable each week.

Tip 3 : On long car trips, pack fruit to snack on! Bananas, apples, plums, grapes, and nectarines all travel well!

Tip 4 : When getting fast food, order salad as your main dish or substitute a side salad for fries--ask for dressing on the side.

Tip 5 : Three ways to thaw seafood, meat or poultry safely: In the refrigerator; in cold water, changed every 30 minutes; or in the microwave.

Tip 6 : Expand your fruit horizons--have you tried papaya, passion fruit, litchi, star fruit, or pomegranate?

Tip 7 : Buy fresh, seasonal vegetables. They cost less and are more likely to be at their peak flavor.

Tip 8 : Keep fruits separate from raw meat, poultry, and seafood while shopping, storing, and preparing.

Tip 9 : Don’t want to eliminate all sweets? Try a drizzle of chocolate fudge sauce on a pear, banana, or berries..

Tip 10 : Take a walk around the block after dinner. If you are still hungry, have a piece of fruit instead of a rich dessert.
