Vegetables and Fruit

TRY THIS: Grocery stores carry a wide variety of fruits and vegetables from all over the world, why not try something new? How about some ugli fruit? Or instead of a plain iceberg lettuce salad, throw in some spinach, romaine, radicchio or lambs quarters.

Milk Products

TRY THIS: Try low fat varieties of your favorite as your cheese of choice on a grilled cheese sandwich. Add some fresh fruit to yogurt. Not only will you be eating one serving of dairy, but also a serving of fruits and vegetables.
