Do you sometimes get stuck in a “diet rut” when it comes to creative meal planning when dieting to lose weight? If so, try this idea. Pretend you must incorporate a particular food into every meal and snack throughout the day. Then challenge yourself to find a variety of ways to prepare that food for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks.

 For example, if you usually eat strawberries as a finger food, try something different. Toss a handful of strawberries in the blender with ice cubes, skim milk and WonderSlim smoothie mix to make a delicious high protein strawberry diet smoothie. Prepare chilled strawberry soup for lunch. Dice some strawberries and mix them into WonderSlim Strawberry, Chocolate or Vanilla Pudding/Shakes. Make a strawberry-poppy seed salad dressing and drizzle it over tossed greens.

Try the same idea with chicken, pasta or any food that has pulled you into a “diet rut”. Think outside the box to discover flavorful alternatives to the healthy foods you love.
