Chilled Cucumber Soup
Pair with a nice big salad for a light and refreshing meal. The soup's a delicious source of healthy fat. In a blender, combine 2 unpeeled cucumbers, 2 avocados, a cup of vegetable broth, 2/3 cup each of yogurt and milk, a couple of tablespoons of chopped onion, a tablespoon each of lemon juice and chopped mint, a teaspoon of vinegar (I like to use rice wine vinegar), and a pinch of cayenne. Puree and then season with salt and freshly ground pepper. Chill at least 4 hours, or even overnight, before enjoying this do-ahead warm-weather treat.

Jazzed Up Ham And Cheese
Make them on raisin bread (lightly buttered, if you wish) using deli ham and American cheese. They're even better on fresh raisin buns from my hometown bakery. I buy a dozen and toss the fixings in the cooler. We devour the sandwiches on picnics during road trips. (Don't like ham? Consider these other tasty 400-Calorie sandwiches.)

Chickpea & Tuna Toss
This is one of my favorite meals on a busy day. A serving keeps me full for hours! Finely chop half a red onion and add it to a bowl with the juice of a lemon. Let stand while you prep the rest of the salad. Chop half a bunch each of flat-leaf parsley and watercress, rinse and drain a can of chickpeas, and add it all to the bowl. Drain and flake 2 cans of tuna and add with olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste. Mix until well combined and serve with crispbread on the side.

Blueberry-Coconut Shake
This thick and tasty smoothie reminds me of the malted milkshakes I loved as a kid. In a blender, combine 1 cup blueberries, half a can of light coconut milk, 2 1/2 tablespoons almond butter (or any nut butter), 2 tablespoons water, 1/2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Blend until smooth (makes 2 servings).

Layered Taco Dip
I se fat-free Greek-style yogurt instead of sour cream to cut down on fat and calories in my version of this dip. Spread fat-free retried beans mixed with taco seasoning in a dish and top with a mixture of cream cheese and Greek yogurt. Sprinkle on scallions, black olives, tomato, lettuce, cheese, and cilantro. Chill and serve with chips. (Got leftover Greek? See 25 Things You Can Do With Yogurt.)

Decadent Breakfast Banana Split
I love finding healthy ways to satisfy my chocolate cravings morning, noon, and night. For a breakfast "banana split," I halve a potassium-rich banana lengthwise, spread it with natural peanut butter, and top it with calcium- filled yogurt and a hint of chocolate syrup. Then I sprinkle it with crunchy low-fat granola for a decadent yet nutritious treat to start off my day!

Vegetable Slaw
Use a Microplane or box grater to shave raw zucchini, baby carrots and turnips, onions or shallots, and cauliflower. Toss with pine nuts, crumbled blue cheese, and red wine vinegar. The varied textures and colors make this healthy side dish pleasing to the eye and palate. (Get even more veggie side dish ideas, here.)
