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)
Fitness, food, & writing are my passions, so of course, a blog. As a certified personal trainer in Napa, where food is an art form, I want to eat it, enjoy it, & still be able to get in to my jeans. Anti diet, pro healthy lifestyle. I've spent the last 20 yrs teaching about food & fitness, researching, & writing about it, so I've got a lot to say. I believe in balance; don't forget to do your pushups, & if you love 'em, by all means, enjoy some pancakes!
