- Combine strawberries and blueberries with a scoop of low fat or fat-free cottage cheese for a filling, yet light snack. Stir in some unsweetened applesauce for a tangy flavor. The cottage cheese is loaded with protein and the combination of berries and applesauce is delightful.
- Sauté sliced peaches, nectarine, apples and/or bananas in a nonstick skillet with a drop of vanilla and a pinch of cinnamon and nutmeg for a change of pace.Add a few drops of orange or pineapple juice for extra flavor.
- As soon as you get home from your grocer’s, wash your blueberries, strawberries or other fruits and put them in a bowl in the refrigerator.Grab them for a snack during the day, or sprinkle them on your cereal in the morning. When you’re hungry during the day, or busy in the morning, you’re much less likely to take the time to wash and prepare them. So keep your fruits (and vegies) clean and accessible.
- Broil bananas halves after sprinkling with cinnamon.
- Tired of green salads for dinner? Try a fruit salad for a change of pace. Cut up some honeydew melon, cantaloupe and watermelon then throw in some grapes, raisins and orange sections. Sprinkle with orange or lemon juice for a refreshing change.
