Add Color: Orange/Yellow

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!

How can you add more ORANGE and YELLOW in your diet to increase fiber, beta-carotene (antioxidant) and other vitamins and minerals?

Breakfast: Enjoy peaches, nectarines, cantaloupe, pineapple or banana.

Lunch: Add yellow or orange peppers and mandarin oranges to your salad.

Snack: Carrots and hummus.

Dinner:  Make salmon burgers or baked salmon to increase omega 3 fatty acids and pair it with this roasted veggies recipe and add carrots and sweet potatoes.

Coming up, a recipe for salmon burgers!
