Love the picture! Such a great visualization! I love berries of all colors, asparagus, pomegranates, eggplant, brussels sprouts….just to name a few. I strive for at least five servings a day….I eat a big salad for lunch and 2 servings with dinner.
Thanks for sharing!
This weekend my rainbow was more of the color of beer and wine. Ready to get back in the palette of good food!

I’m really good at getting my fruit servings each day. I love fruit and can eat it at every meal. It’s the veggies I struggle with.
