2. Shop farmer's markets for the freshest produce. Not sure what to do with beet greens or eggplant? Ask the farmer at the market, or browse through our recipe finder for great ideas. Make the farmer's market a stop on your weekly route, and you'll have no excuse for not eating plenty of gorgeous and delicious produce every day. Keep a bowl of baby carrots, snap peas and broccoli on hand for snacking.

3. Start your day with a whirl. Mix fruit, milk or juice and ice cubes. Pour everything in the blender, whirl, and breakfast is ready in a snap. Try your favorite combination of fresh and frozen fruit, or sample one of our recipes for more ideas. Breakfast -- and getting enough fruit in your diet -- was never so easy.

4. Think small. Our appetite often decreases when the temperature rises, so take advantage and eat smaller meals. Split a sandwich with a friend, order a cup of soup instead of a bowl, opt for an appetizer portion at dinner instead of an entree, and if you're indulging in ice cream, ask for the smallest cone possible. You'll be pleasantly surprised that a smaller portion satisfies hunger just as effectively, and your waistline will definitely thank you.
