I get my daily dose of Brown or Chocolate.And speaking of Rainbows, I am excited because Pride in San Diego is in mid-July which will be here before I know it. It’s such a fun weekend!
Lots of fun Pride Parade 2010 pictures hereFrom my last post Knock It Out & Pileups, it seems that most of you dislike the feeling of letting tasks and chores accumulate and pile up as much as I do. It seems to invoke stress and anxiety in most of us when there’s more tasks and items to accomplish than time in which to do them. But, such is life and the best we can do is try to remain calm.
I’m glad you’ve been knocking out some items from your to-do list lately, though.
Questions:
1. Do you try to eat the rainbow?
Plants have so many vitamins, nutrients, minerals, and trace elements in them and I just feel so much better when I am eating an abundance of fresh, mostly raw, fruits and veggies. I can just feel the goodness entering my cells.
If I am low on eating my rainbow-colored foods and am eating more, ahem white or brown foods, I definitely feel a difference in my energy, moods, and just the overall vibe and am reminded to get back to eating more rainbow-colored foods.
2. What rainbow-colored food or recipe have you enjoyed lately? What color is your favorite to eat?
I think reds and greens are my favorite colors to eat. From juicy red fruits like strawberries and watermelon to red pepper and tomatoes, reds rock.
Greens are probably the most beneficial color for our bodies, in my opinion. Everything from greens leafies, lettuces, kale, chards, cucumbers, broccoli, peas, green beans, sugar snap peas, peapods, and so many more; the green family is probably the biggest and the best for us.
3. Any non-rainbow colored foods or recipes you’ve enjoyed lately?

Not rainbow themed. But that’s ok, too!
I love fruits and veggies, especially ones that are bright and vibrant. I try to eat the rainbow, and everything else under the sun!
we definitely try to eat the rainbow….i keep track of our rainbow eating everyday….but one day it was all orange, nectarines, papaya, mango, carrots–didn’t mean it to be that way….but at least we consumed all of these fruits….i also try to include one leafy green and one cruciferous veggie a day…it’s a tall order, but doable!
I try to eat the rainbow, although I’m not the best at getting a wide variety within the colors. I tend to pick the same things for green foods, the same for red, etc. I just like what I like and the ones that I don’t like, I REALLY don’t like. My tastebuds apparently don’t understand moderation. lol
I’m the best at getting red, most definitely. I love salsa, red bell peppers, strawberries, watermelon, red is delicious!
YES, I most certanly eat from the rainbow. I dont think too much about it though, since I eat so much fruits and veggies it just comes natuarly.
My favorit is brown- chocolate and almond butter are both daily eaten :D And I love it!
And you ginger roasted potatos looks so good!!
Have a great weekend Averie :)
Your pictures make eating the rainbow look so easy & tasty.
I eat/drink a lot of green in my green smoothies and salads. Also enjoy the punch of colour & dazzle that reds, yellows & oranges give to my plate.
Love the browns (chocolate) for dessert :)
I love eating the rainbow and my favorite is GREEN!!! but red and orange are good too.
YES, we do!!! That is the whole basis to my business (Color Wheel Meals) we eat like the color wheel!!! I go around teaching others to do the same!!! LOVE THIS!!!
You bet I eat the rainbow! My favorite color to eat though, is purple. The darker the veggie/fruit, the better! Plus purple is just so beautiful.

Totally giggling at your brown rainbow! ;)
Beautiful dahling! that dip looks un-real…. ohmygosh!!!!
I love trying to get as many colours in one meal as possible (I like to have 3 different ones at least!). It just looks so much more appealing and better with more colours…maybe that’s why I always cook up a monster-storm of veggies when I am cooking them! haha
I love eating the rainbow! Especially in the summer when all of the colors are so vibrant and delicious. :)
