No, we aren't going to eat Skittles!
I'm posting it a couple days ahead of time as it might be a little more difficult to accomplish and will take a bit of planning and possibly some shopping.
For this challenge we are going to Taste the Rainbow! - by way of fruits and vegetables that is!
Healthy food comes in a variety of colors, especially in natural whole foods. Also, the deeper the color of your fruits and vegetables, the more healthy benefits they have for your body.
The colors in the rainbow are:
red
orange
yellow
green
blue/violet
white - instead of indigo for this challenge
These colors are found in quite a variety of produce. Here is a website that gives you some ideas: http://www.ag.ndsu.edu/pubs/yf/foods/fn595w.htm
Please respond to this thread listing all the colors and what food you ate for that color.
Good luck everyone and KEEP MOVING!!
