[edit] Steps

Sample fruit of different types. Try things like berries, mangoes and grapefruit for a change, rather than resorting to the staple apples and pears. Exotic fruits are ideal, or more-ish fruits like watermelon - all of these are healthy and delicious at once.
Try eating small pieces of bread, bread fingers, raw veggies with fat-free or low-fat dips. Dips make food taste so nicer, especially when you choose fat-free versions like hummus, carrot dip, beetroot dip, etc. Make your own so that you have a good supply on hand.
Try eating healthy yogurts or probiotic ones in place of chocolate mousse or dairy fridge puddings. Eat the yogurts with your berries etc. - you can puree the berries and fold them through. If you want to sweeten them, use a little maple syrup rather than sugar, or a dash of vanilla extract. Unhealthy choc-urts are all right sometimes and for a break they don't always have to be low fat! Frozen yogurt made at home can be a great, healthy treat too.
Indulge in fruit salad. It is ideal but be careful not to get the sugar syrup version if you're preferring the canned variety. The trick to a good fruit salad that excites the tastebuds is one that has fruits that you like and none that you don't. Easy done!
Make a goji berry, dark chocolate, almond, and walnut trail mix. Don't eat too much at once but this is certainly an anti-oxidant and omega 3 rich mix! Another exciting mix is wasabi beans and goji berries - it packs a punch!
