Yummy! My faves are ALL OF THEM. Be sure to cycle your sources to maximize your nutrients too.

YAY or NAY? ????????????????????What’s your favourite colour of the rainbow fruit & vegetable display?

Adding a variety of fruits and vegetables into our diet gets us the vitamins and minerals we need. Below is what each colour brings in:
Red: rich in antioxidants including lycopen, anthocyanins and ellagic acid ????????????????????
Orange: rich in alpha-carotene and beta-carotene.????????????
Yellow: rich in carotenoids including beta-carotene and beta-cryptoxanthin.????????????
Green: rich in chlorophyll, sulforaphane and glucosinolate.????????????
Purple: rich in anthocyanins and nitrates.????????????
Also remember that getting the right proportion of foods from the major food groups is as important as eating the rainbow.
Did I miss anything, do I need to add other info to this long caption? ???????????? #pineapple #watermelon #tomato #grapefruit #avocado #kiwi #cauliflower #brocolli #lemon #orange #pomegranate #apple #cherry #papaya #corn #kale #grapes #rainbow #rainbowfood #eattherainbow #alphafoodie

Did you know one of the Six Human Hungers is Variety? Are you in a rut? Buy something unusual from the farmers market to try. It may make you feel more satiated and add some nutrients you have had in a while.

Good morning!
Do you do new year resolutions? I think it’s a great way to motivate yourself to change and improve! I usually don’t wait for the new year and make changes when I feel compelled to. I woke up yesterday so frustrated with a couple of flare ups that I decided to try going wheat free for 30 days or so and maybe refined sugar free. I’ve done one day and it was t o u g h. But that’s one day down! I’m hoping to write down any changes, if any. Anyone tried it? Anyone want to try it with me? ????????????. And yes, this bowl kept me sane yesterday! ????.
.
.
Here are some food facts for thought:
???? in 19th century America, 7000 different kinds of apples were grown; now, fewer than 100 are grown.
.
.
???? as much as 30 percent of an avocado is oil. .
.
???? half of all salt is mined; the other half is harvested from the sea. .
.
???? the most popular fruit in the world is the grape.
.
.
???? people in Asia have been farming rice for thousands of years and today it is the staple food for about half the world’s population.
.
.
This bowl ????. .
???? sushi rice (I used @shisodelicious method from her blog) which I dyed purple using black goji berry powder.
???? purple carrots, purple cauliflower, peas, Brussel sprouts, avocado, broccolini, and sticky tofu.

Thank you so much to the lovely laura @a.healthy.nut for sharing my pie in her stories. To the sweet kayla @kaylaitsines for sharing my porridge bowl. And to the lovely @smoothiebowlrecipes, @enjoyyoso, @smoothies_n_co and @e3livefeeling for sharing my photos as well! ????????????.

I just have to add by wheat free I mean obvious wheat items like breads and pasta for now. I didn’t realize how common wheat is used in things until I started reading ingredients! Have a lovely day everyone! ????. .

Easy tip for your #avocado trees. Avocados prefer more acidic soil. Adding coffee grounds as a mulch occasionally will help them thrive! #gardening #urbanfarming #urbangarden
