Morning Treat

Morning Treat

Custom make a morning taste treat. Mix together two or three different breakfast cereals for a unique flavor. Bananas have appeal, but try a new topper such as blueberries, nectarines, or kiwi.

Supercharge your soup and sandwich. At lunch, swap the same old chicken noodle soup for lentil or mushroom-barley. "These soups satisfy and boost your fiber intake, too," says Ward. Build your usual turkey and Swiss sandwich on a new bread such as focaccia, seven-grain, or pita. Try a new topping such as arugula, roasted red peppers, and honey mustard.

Go exotic with ethnic cuisine. Break free of your dining-out routine try a brand new cuisine! Thai, Japanese, Middle Eastern, Indian, and Greek are just a few tantalizing choices. Many ethnic cuisines feature low fat dishes heaping with grains and vegetables just what the Pyramid ordered. Many large supermarkets also offer a wide selection of ready made ethnic dishes or quik to fix staples.
