Keeping Variety with Fruits and Vegetables

Since being diagnosed with Celiac Disease I've noticed I eat many more fruits and veggies than I did before. But, I started to get bored with simply eating a banana, or a handful of baby carrots. Here are some ideas I've found/discovered/come up with to keep things interesting.

FRUIT IDEAS
Add dried apricots to gluten free cereal
Add dried Papaya to apricots
Mix fresh fruit into yogurt
Top rice cakes with peanut or almond butter and add sliced fruit like banana's on top
Add sliced apples and pears to salads and sandwiches
Toss strawberries, grapes, and oranges into salads (out of fresh fruit? use canned mandrin oranges).
Add dried berries to mashed potatoes

VEGETABLE IDEAS
Add spinach or other leafy dark greens to sandwiches
Have a salad with every dinner
Add baby carrots, sliced mushrooms, frozen peas, to rice and quinoa
Add asparagus, zuicchini or mushrooms into pasta sauce
Make a vegetable based chilli- corn, peppers, etc.
