Last week I shared my Rainbow Of Fruits And Vegetables that would see us through a week of meals. Here’s the week’s meals which shows eating a rainbow of fruits and vegetables in practice.
Note that this is a week of meals/snacks, not just one days worth!
Red
There were both Truss tomatoes and cherry tomatoes included in my rainbow of vegetables. The truss tomatoes were incorporated into sandwiches and salads through the week.
The cherry tomatoes were used in the fun grape and tomato kebabs I shared last week.
Orange
Carrots and onions were roasted along with chicken and potatoes.
Yellow
In addition to snacking on Bananas through the week, I also made a batch of banana pancakes. This particular banana pancake looks a lot like an apple for some unexplainable reason!
Green
The celery was simply snacked on through the week. My 4 year old and I are the only celery eaters in the family and we both happily snack on a stick or two a day.
Lately our go to after dinner snack is a cup of grapes. I also popped grapes onto kebabs with tomatoes. (as seen above)
Blue
My go to snack lately is yoghurt with chia seeds and blueberries. I shared more in this blog post.
Purple
I made Grain Free Cheesy Eggplant Chips with the eggplant and it was a huge hit as always!
It was a really interesting task documenting how the rainbow of vegetables was used through the week. It’s inspired me to explore more new fruit and veggies of every colour of the rainbow!
