Hey reader
We've ALL heard the phrase "eat the rainbow" so I thought I'd create a quick meal or meal prep idea that will support us in this goal and inspire more veggie consumption while also being simple & tasty!
🌈 What colors are in your lunch today?
This week’s challenge is a fun one – and if you have kids, you definitely will want to get them in on the action!
It’s the “EAT THE RAINBOW” Challenge! I’ve even included a handy list to get you started. 🤩
❤️ Did you know that health experts recommend eating at least 4½ cups of fruits & veggies every day?
🧡 That’s 1 to 2 cups of fruit, and between 2 to 3 cups of vegetables a day.
💛 That doesn’t mean just munching on baby carrots and apple slices all the time – you’ll get even more valuable micronutrients (like vitamins, minerals, and important plant compounds) if you eat a VARIETY of fruits and veggies.
💚 Plus, it’s a lot tastier!
💙 That’s where this challenge comes in – this week, it’s all about eating a veggie/fruit choice from each color group.
💜 Here’s a list to help get you inspired:
Red/Pink: beets, cherries, cranberries, pink grapefruit, pomegranates, radicchio, radishes, raspberries, red apples, red grapes, red peppers, rhubarb, tomatoes, and watermelon.
Orange/Yellow: yams, squash, apricots, cantaloupe, carrot, corn, grapefruit, lemons, mangoes, nectarines, oranges & tangerines, orange & yellow peppers, papaya, peaches, pineapple, pumpkin, sweet potatoes.
Green: artichokes, asparagus, avocados, bok choy, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, celery, greens (cabbage, lettuce, spinach, kale, etc), cucumber, green beans, green grapes, green onions, green peppers, kiwi, leeks, limes, okra, pears, peas, watercress, zucchini.
White: bananas, cauliflower, garlic, Jerusalem artichoke, mushrooms, onion, potatoes, parsnips, and shallots.
Blue/Purple: blackberries, blueberries, purple cabbage, currants, dates, eggplant, purple grapes, plums, prunes, purple figs, and raisins.
✅ #1: Let us know if you are IN for the Rainbow Challenge.
✅ #2: How will YOU do this week’s challenge? Will you divide and conquer (eat one color a day)? Make a giant salad with one choice from each?
