Add a Litte Colour to Your Plate
Ramp up the colour on your plate and get more fruit & veg into your day as a result !!
Start the day with a fruit salad
Lunch on Sourdough with Hummus, Roasted Sweet Potato and Watercress
Snack on Strawberries and Date Paste - one of my boys favourites.
Date Paste
1/2 cup almonds, soaked overnight in filtered water then washed and drained
1 cup fresh dates, pit removed
1/2 cup cocnunt water
1/4 cup carob powder
1 cup young thai coconut meat
Dine on Roasted Cauliflower with Apple and Cranberries. Recipe here
And don't forget to add a side of greens. Can you ever get enough.
Others Ways to Slip a Bit of Colour in Your Day
Beef up casseroles, soups and stews with extra vegetables
Swap out dessert for a piece of fruit
Add a side salad of greens, tomatoes and avocado to your pizza
Stuff your sandwiches sky high with greens and bright salad such as carrot, grated beetroot, alfalfa sprouts, red onion, tomato or avocado.
