Our Lady of Resplendent Color

I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don’t notice it. ~ Alice Walker, The Color Purple, 1982

Mother Nature knew what she was doing when she created fruits and vegetables colorful enough to seduce. From the brilliant red tomato to the powerful purple grape, all the colors of the rainbow are represented – and between them they offer a range of nutrients, antioxidants and other healthful compounds that are powerful enough to fight cancer, prevent strokes, protect the eyes – even lower ‘bad’ cholesterol.
Want to add more fruits n’ veggies to your day? Here’s how!!!
Add vegetables like bell peppers, broccoli, spinach, mushrooms or tomatoes to your egg or egg white omelet.
Top your yogurt with sliced apples or berries.
Add strawberries, blueberries and/or bananas to your cereal.
Grab an orange as a snack.
Top toasted whole-grain bread with peanut butter and sliced bananas.
In winter, need be – turn to canned, dried, frozen fruits and vegetables. They are variable options! Just be sure to read the label and choose wisely. Fruit without added sugar or syrups and veggies without added salt, butter or cream sauces are preferable!
Think color – think beauty – think health.
Enjoy your day!
Spread the word … NOT the icing!
