Today's Food Tip
Drink your fruits and vegetables
Instead of reaching for a fruit juice (that may contain sneaky, sugary ingredients), turn whole fruits and vegetables into a nutritious, refreshing drink. Make a smoothie with plain, low-fat yogurt and your favorite frozen fruit. Or blend up a banana, berries, a lemon, mint, ice and 2 cups of fresh raw baby spinach. This green concoction may look unappealing at first, but it tastes delicious!
