Here’s how to add color, flavor, and nutrients to your plate without becoming a kale evangelist.

Red (Tomatoes, Strawberries, Red Peppers)
Packed with antioxidants like lycopene, red foods support heart health and may help prevent certain cancers.

Green (Spinach, Broccoli, Avocados)
Rich in fiber, vitamins, and folate, greens help maintain strong bones and good digestion.

Orange (Carrots, Sweet Potatoes, Oranges)
Loaded with beta-carotene and vitamin C, orange foods support vision and immune function. Plus, they’re delicious!

Blue & Purple (Blueberries, Eggplant, Grapes)
These are brain-boosting superstars, linked to memory support and aging well.

Yellow (Bananas, Corn, Yellow Squash)
Often rich in potassium, yellow foods can help regulate blood pressure and support nerve and muscle function.

You don’t need to be a gourmet chef to eat colorfully. Just aim to add a variety of colors to your meals each day. Think salads with berries, omelets with peppers, or stir-fries with broccoli and carrots.

Nutrition doesn’t have to be boring. In fact, the more colorful your plate, the more exciting (and beneficial) your meals become.
