  • Spiced-Up Applesauce
    To maximize nutrition in this fall favorite, I leave the fiber-rich peels on the apples and avoid adding extra sugar—the fruit itself provides plenty of natural sweetness.
  • Steamed Fish with Bok Choy and Red Pepper
    Steaming in individual packets is an easy, delicate way to prepare fish. And, as an added bonus, this method also saves on cleanup! Red bell peppers provide a blast of Vitamin C for healthy skin and joints.
  • Strawberry-Banana Tofu Smoothie
    Silken tofu gives this smoothie a good dose of vegetarian protein and a thick, creamy texture. If you prefer, substitute ½ cup nonfat yogurt (plain or vanilla) for the tofu.
  • Strawberry-Kiwi Smoothie
    Refreshing and easy to make, this smoothie provides almost twice the amount of vitamin C you need for an entire day! The sweet sip also delivers tooth-strengthening calcium and vitamin D from the milk…and all for only 155 calories.
  • Super Salad with Grilled Chicken
    Produce takes the starring role in this colorful salad: Crisp, leafy greens are mixed with bright orange carrots, jewel-toned bell peppers, purplish onions, and fire engine red tomatoes. Grilled chicken and beans provide high-quality protein.
  • Sweet Potato Fries
    My oven-baked fries are every bit as good as the deep-fried kind. Rich in beta-carotene, bright orange sweet potatoes help keep your eyes, skin and hair healthy, and also boost your immune system. They’re a good source of soluble fiber. And did I mention the calorie savings? This version has just 100 calories serving, compared to a fast food version with a whopping 500.
  • Sweet Potato-Cauliflower Mash
    My low-cal mashed potatoes were created one night when I used leftover cauliflower to beef up mashed sweet potatoes. Clearly, an accident meant to happen — only 110 calories per cup, but loaded with nutrition and fiber!
  • Sweetened Ricotta Cream with Berries
    This is a dessert with benefits: The low-fat ricotta provides high-quality protein plus bone-building calcium, and the berries add fiber and memory-boosting antioxidants, not to mention sweetness and color. It’s an elegant way to end a dinner party or date, but it’s also perfect for those times you’re looking for a special way to treat yourself (and you totally deserve it!).
  • Tandoori Halibut Kebabs
    It doesn’t matter if you own a grill — you can use your oven to prep these flavorful, Indian-spiced fish and veggie skewers. The marinade uses turmeric, a potent anti-inflammatory, making this dish a perfect choice for people with arthritis aches.
  • Tofu, Cauliflower and Chickpea Curry
    This hearty vegetarian meal is flavored with an Indian-inspired spice combo that will leave your kitchen smelling incredible! I include two great sources of vegetarian protein, tofu and chickpeas, which make each (generous) portion incredibly filling.
