An abridged mini challenge for this week....
Eating a variety of different colored fruit and vegetables is a big step in the healthy direction.
Consuming different color foods plays a role in insuring we are getting enough essential nutrients, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, fiber, and more.
So for the next several days, see how many different colors of healthy foods you can add into your diet. Can you get all the colors of the rainbow?
And no, Skittles do not count!
Check in with your progress as you go

I'm on the road Friday thru Sunday, but I will accept this mini-mini challenge and do my best. Hopefully this will help keep me on track. Anyone have any suggestions besides blueberries for travel food that are blue and/or purple?0

Had bruch while everyone was on their big bike ride here at the Ironman Race and I made sure it was full of the rainbow. peppers, onions, carrots, tomatoes, kale and I asked for fresh fruit on the side which was grapes and strawberries, throw on the scrambled eggs (and I made them regular instead of just whites and got the yellow). Unfortunately, dinner will be tougher cuz it's all off food trucks and food booths. Either way, on my way hom tomorrow and back to where I can control the rainbow. This has been an interesting challenge to try to work on the road, MJT. Thanks2
