In terms of cancer prevention through nutrition, whole fruits and vegetables seem to offer the best defense.

The cancer risk for Americans who eat the recommended amounts (five servings) of fruits and vegetables (especially dark green, leafy vegetables, and red, orange, and yellow fruits and vegetables) on a daily basis is 50 to 70 percent lower than for those who consume the least fruits and vegetables.

As this Super Berry Smoothie recipe shows, a healthy breakfast can be quick, easy, low-fat and ideal for anyone on the go.

INGREDIENTS
1 cup vanilla soy milk
½ cup apple juice
1 cup blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, or sliced strawberries
1 ripe banana
1 cup crushed ice

Combine all ingredients in blender and puree till smooth. Serve garnished with berries or slices of banana.

Thank you for the tasty ideas. I have some
watermelon to use up so instead of just freezing plain watermelon balls I will try
the Frozen Watermelon Mint Bar recipe with
some of it.

I make smoothies frequently using V8 Fusion juice (because it has veggies and fruit in it) with a combination of frozen fruit and vanilla soy ice cream. It makes for a cool and refreshing, yet healthy and cruelty-free boost that is an especially enjoyable way to beat the heat. It's also a great accompaniment to a veggie burger and isn't as fattening as most desserts. Best of all, kids LOVE them, so it is a great way to help them get their recommended servings of veggies and fruits!
