Step 1
Start your day with fresh fruit. Fruit is full of antioxidants and fiber, which have both been shown to reduce risk or certain cancers. You could have a banana-mango smoothie or eat a couple of bowls of mixed berries. If you are still hungry, try a bowl of oatmeal, made with rolled (not quick) oats or a bowl of brown rice topped with real maple syrup.

Step 2
Cook up a delicious bowl of vegetable soup for lunch, or try making hummus in your food processor or Vita Mix and adding it to whole grain bread or pita pocket as a sandwich. Stuff your sandwich with plenty of sprouts, tomatoes, cucumbers, and assorted veggies. Try something new!

Step 3
Grill a chicken breast or salmon for dinner adding several sides such as a salad made with leafy greens, steamed broccoli and carrots, and a whole grain like barley or quinoa.

Step 4
Snacking can help hold off hunger and provide an extra boost to get you through the day. Try snacking on fresh whole fruit like an apple or a peach. Or if you are really hungry make lettuce wraps out of green lettuce leaves, black beans, corn and fresh salsa.

Step 5
Don't forget dessert! Make fruit sorbets and slushes with your food processor or Vita Mix. Or make cookies from whole oats, raisins and unsweetened coconut, omitting the white sugar and using stevia or honey instead.
