Powerpoint slide with links to the research studies that were highlighted in the heart health presentation by Dr. K.

This handout breaks down the phytonutrients and health benefits of different colored plant foods, as well as providing a large list of examples of foods of each color of the rainbow.

I recommend circling the foods that you currently eat on a weekly basis. How close are you getting to that goal of 30 different plant foods per week? Are there some colors that you’re not consuming much of? Are you a creature of habit and rotating through the same 3 red foods week after week? What one new red food could you try out this week? etc.

This is a fun handout you can use to track how many servings of different colored plant foods you’re eating daily. Use this a few times and you’ll get into the habit of doing a mental rainbow checklist as you go through your day. It’s a great way to make eating the rainbow easier and more fun for the whole family…and maybe make for some healthy competition!
