FoodEnjoyable Ways To Eat RightPosted: 8/5/2010 Fresh fruit, nonfat milk and other nutritious ingredients make a delicious drink that can be a healthful snack or quick breakfast or lunch. (NAPSI) - A healthful, nutritious lifestyle may be easier--and more fun--than many people realize. Here are a few hints from the experts at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and elsewhere that can help: At Breakfast • Stir low-fat or fat-free granola into a bowl of low-fat or fat-free yogurt. Top with sliced apples or berries. • Add strawberries, blueberries or bananas to your waffles, pancakes, cereal, oatmeal or toast. • Top toasted whole-grain bread with peanut butter and sliced bananas. • Add vegetables such as bell peppers, broccoli, spinach, mushrooms or tomatoes to your egg or egg white omelet. • For more wholesome goodness in less time than you may know, enjoy a fruit smoothie from a convenience store on your route. At Lunch and Dinner • Ask for more vegetable toppings and less cheese on your pizza. • Add some cooked, dry beans to your salad. Or, if you have a sweet tooth, add chopped apples, pears or raisins. • Add broccoli, green beans, corn or peas to a casserole or pasta. • Add lettuce, tomato, onion and cucumber to sandwiches. • To get additional nutrition, drink a fruit smoothie instead of soda or punch. At Snack Time • Try hummus and whole-wheat pitas. • Dip bell pepper strips and broccoli into a low-fat or fat-free ranch dip. • Top a cup of fat-free or low-fat yogurt with sliced fresh fruit. • Drink a fruit smoothie. A great smoothie to enjoy at any time of day is easily found in more than 5,000 convenience stores and other locations across the U.S. and Canada. They're not only delicious, but have an extra boost of antioxidant vitamins A, C and E and energy-boosting B vitamins, and minerals--including calcium, zinc and iron. Plus, they're a good source of fiber. f'real smoothies feature nonfat milk and a full serving of all-natural fruit. They're even fun to get, because you make them up fresh in a special blender. With the push of a single button, the in-store blender automatically elevates your prefilled frozen cup into the blending chamber and, less than 60 seconds later, returns a freshly prepared, custom-blended drink. In addition to smoothies, f'real also makes premium-quality classic milk shakes and gourmet frozen cappuccinos.
