Add Color: Blue/Purple

March is National Nutrition Month and this year the theme is Eat Right with Color. Aim to eat a variety of fruits and vegetables to increase intake of phytonutrients and antioxidants which have been shown to decrease the risk of cancer, heart disease, macular degeneration and diabetes!

BLUE/PURPLE fruits and vegetables are loaded with antioxidants, especially blueberries.

Tips:

• Add blueberries and blackberries to cereal,  yogurt, smoothies, muffins, pancakes, and waffles, or use them with grapes and your other favorite fruits to make a fruit kabob.  
• Add eggplant to stir-fry dishes 
• Freeze red grapes for a frozen treat!
