1. START the day right; have a fruit or 100% fruit juice.


2. ADD strawberries, blueberries or bananas-fresh, frozen or canned-to waffles, pancakes or toast.


3. SNACK on veggies each day. Munch on baby carrots or carrot sticks, pepper strips, broccoli or celery.



4. PICK up ready-made salads from the produce shelf.



5. PILE spinach leaves, tomatoes, peppers and broccoli on your pizza.

6. MICROWAVE veggies for dinner. Flavor with lemon juice and herbs.
