It’s easy to get stuck in a routine when it comes to our fruit and vegetable intake. Quality is an extremely important factor to obtain a healthy diet, but we can’t forget about diversity!
Eating the Rainbow means having a variety of colors on your plate, since each color represents different nutrients and vitamins that you are providing to your body. Fruits and Vegetables are also great source of fiber and phytochemicals (Anthocyanins, carotenoids, lycopene, lutein and phenolics) responsible for their beautiful colors and with huge benefits to our health that includes their antioxidant properties.
This is a “daily rule”, every day you should include the rainbow in your diet! The recommendation is 7 portions of vegetables 🥦🥕🧄🥬🧅🥑🍆 and 2 of fruits 🍓🍏 per day. A easy way to achieve this it’s to include them in your snacks, smoothies and soups are amazing options when it comes to introducing more variety in you diet!
