How Bright Is Your Plate?Ever look at your plate and feel like something was missing? A great way to decide if something is missing is whether or not there is enough colour on it! Adding colour usually involves adding vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and lots of other nutrients! My Challenge To You: Make each plate as colourful as possible. This is a great game that you can play with your kids as well. Ask them to give you ideas of colourful foods and add them to the plate! |
