Tip 1 : Try a new fruit. Fruits vary in vitamins and minerals--mix it up to get the essential nutrients.

Tip 2 : How many different fruit salads can you make? Share ideas with friends to create a variety.

Tip 3 : For an easy breakfast or snack on the go, try a fruit smoothie with frozen peaches, berries, and low-fat yogurt.

Tip 4 : Make your own vegetarian burgers with cooked black beans, mushrooms, seasonings, and egg or oatmeal. Form into patties and pan grill.

Tip 5 : Add a vegetarian protein food to make a salad into a main dish--try garbanzo beans, kidney beans, soybeans or sunflower seeds.

Tip 6 : Broil lean beef cuts--sirloin, top round, or flank steak. Sliced into strips, it�s great on a salad, sandwich or by itself.

Tip 7 : Instead of high fat pasta sauces like alfredo, try part-skim ricotta mixed with pesto for a creamy sauce.

Tip 8 : Order veggie pizza with toppings like mushrooms, green peppers and onions - ask for extra veggies!

Tip 9 : To incorporate more vegetables into your pizza or pasta--blend carrots, zucchini or spinach into the tomato sauce. Look online for recipes.

Tip 10 : Does your produce keep going bad before you can eat it? Try frozen fruit instead--they provide the same nutritional value.
