MENUPreparing Foods With Antioxidants
Here's some simple and easy ways to add food high in antioxidants into meals!

When buying lettuce, choose the head with the darkest green or red leaves, and add carrots, spinach and orange slices to your salads.
Put together a juicy, sweet fruit salad with cantaloupe, peaches and strawberries - fresh or frozen.
Sprinkle wheat germ or chopped nuts on low-fat yogurt or add them to pancake or bread recipes and to grain dishes.
Gently steam broccoli and red pepper slices along with onions and mushrooms. Serve with low-fat or nonfat dressing.
