How Many Colors?
I love, love, love food bowls! Breakfast bowls filled with quinoa, kale, sweet potatoes and eggs! Absolutely yummy and you won’t be hungry until lunch! Did I mention, I love food bowls?
A healthy food bowl should ideally contain at least three different colors, representing a variety of fruits, vegetables, and other nutrient-rich foods. A good goal is to aim for at least four colors in your next meal to ensure a good intake of different vitamins and minerals.
A good source of protein includes lean meats like chicken, turkey, and lean beef, as well as fish, eggs, dairy products such as Greek yogurt and cottage cheese, legumes like beans and lentils, tofu, tempeh, and nuts or seeds.
An overall balanced meal combines protein with complex carbohydrates, healthy fats, and a variety of vegetables. For example, grilled chicken breast with quinoa, steamed broccoli, and a side of avocado provides a well-rounded plate rich in essential nutrients, fiber, and healthy fats to support energy and muscle repair.
Yes, I know… it is not always easy to prepare and eat this way! BUT, one must try~~~ Once you do, there is no going back!
