Banana on the BBQ

Don't let a food rut ruin your healthy-eating streak.
Summer time is a dieter's dream—fresh fruits, veggies—they're ripe and ready.

Ready for some new ways to get the most snacking power out of your favorite fruits?
HealthGal and nutritionist Amy Hendel has some super sweet tips. "Consider that a banana can be grilled (open face) and then sprinkled with nuts," says Hendel. "Watermelon smoothies can be incredibly refreshing, and sprinkle a tiny drop of sugar on grapefruit halves and broil them in the oven for a refreshing and sweet, healthy dessert." We don't know about you, but Amy had us at 'grilled banana.'
