FOOD CHALLENGE: 30 plant foods in 7 days

We all know we should be eating more fruits and vegetables, and that we should be eating a Rainbow of colours every day but have you ever stopped to count them ?   We want to get you thinking about what you are eating, so …..

How many different plant foods can you eat in a week? Our challenge is for you to aim for 30 plant foods in a week ! Are you up for it ?

Plants are a fabulous source of vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals. The best way to ensure our body gets all these essential nutrients is to eat the widest range possible. And that is your challenge – how many do you think you can eat? Record what you eat on the chart you can download here.

So.. what can you count and include ?

• Anything that is a plant but you can only count it once
• All Fruit
• All Vegetables
• Includes beans – all the different ones !
• Includes lentils (red and green are two)
• Includes grains and seeds ( sunflower, pumpkin, flax seeds, etc are all different )
• Includes rice and potatoes – sweet potato is another one !
• Includes herbs and spices
• You can count different colours – so red peppers, green peppers, yellow peppers, orange peppers would count as 4 items ! White and red onions are two !

Download and print the handout so you can easily record your foods, and stick it on your fridge. Every time you have a meal record what plant foods you have had.

Good luck and we hope you enjoy the challenge! We would love to hear how you got on !!
