Eat a Rainbow

Most people know 5-9 servings of produce is the daily goal. Get more bang for your nutrient buck by eating a rainbow every day, making sure to eat at least one serving of each of the five colors below.

Red (ex., strawberries, cherries, radishes, tomatoes, red peppers)

Orange (ex., oranges, pumpkin, butternut squash, carrots, sweet potatoes)

Yellow (ex., banana, yellow squash, lemon, yellow peppers)

Green (ex., zucchini, spinach, asparagus, green beans, romaine lettuce)

Purple (ex., blueberries, blackberries, plums, eggplant, red cabbage, even though red is in the name)
