Why and How to Get your Family to Eat the Rainbow
Want your family to eat more vegan food?
Having written two books designed to inspire you and your young ones to eat more plants, I get it; the more help you have the better!
Well, we eat with our eyes first, and the rainbow colours of plant-based ingredients are a vibrant signal for what’s on the plate; fully flavoured and wonderfully healthy food for all the family.
The stunning natural pigments in plant-based foods are more than a pretty sight, they indicate a cornucopia of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that are essential for our well-being, and are a powerful recipe on our journey towards optimal health.
From heart-healthy reds, to eye-protecting oranges and yellows, from bone-building greens to brain-boosting purples and blues, each colour group will help nourish your family, and delight their taste buds!
For exactly this reason, my website is jam-packed with the vibrant colours of plant-based foods.
Across global cuisines, stews and soups, pastas, pizzas and risottos, stir-fry’s and curries, burgers and buns, salads and slaws, desserts and cakes, there’s a wonderful spectrum of super-colourful recipes that make it easy, and delicious, for you and your family to eat your way across the rainbow.
To help you explore the colour wheel, I’ve picked out just a few of my favourites in colour themes that align with particular aspects of health, and included them below.
I hope you enjoy them, and for a daily splash of healthy colours and delicious recipes, I’d love you to follow me on Instagram here.
