I usually eat spinach in the morning cooked with my scrambled eggs. However I have been known to make a salad or two.
1 cup of Red Bell peppers has twice as much vitamin C as one orange. Broccoli goes great with every meal, not bad as a snack either.

Lunch:; 125 g of smoked salmon with avocado and a pear
Snack:: 100 g 4% fat smoked ham with a slice of non fat cheese 1 apple hand full of blue berries and about 15 almonds.
