Eat the Rainbow: a colorful party party of nutrient diversity

Eat the Rainbow covers all the bases with a beautiful blend of different colors of whole foods. Color can indicate which vitamins, nutrients, and phytochemicals are inside whole plant ingredients. Eating a wide range of colorful plants provides the most nutrient diversity which keeps us healthy, happy, and moving. Team Dirty has already done the work of planning for you. All you have to do to get the benefits of a whole-food plant-based diet is batch and eat! 

“Colorful foods are often healthier because they contain antioxidant pigments, whether it’s the beta-carotene that makes carrots and sweet potatoes orange, the lycopene antioxidant pigment that makes tomatoes red, or the anthocyanin pigments that make blueberries blue. The colors are the antioxidants.”

Dr. Michael Greger

When you eat a nutrient-diverse whole-food plant-based diet, you literally eat the rainbow. This is one reason why eating this way sparks so much joy—it’s fun to cook and eat naturally bright-colored food, and the colors help the body heal and thrive.

Red

Tomatoes, red peppers, and red cabbage contain lycopene which also helps protect against cell damage and studies indicate it may prevent certain cancers and heart disease. These benefits can be found in the Avo-Kraut Toast and Rainbow Salad Bowl. 

Orange and Yellow

Carotenoids can be found in ingredients like yellow peppers and carrots. They’re antioxidants that promote healthy hormone production and eye health. Several meals from the Gourmet Plan feature these ingredients, including the Stir Fried Veggie Millet and Marinated Sauerkraut Salad.

Green

Green plants like bok choy, spring greens, and cucumbers contain many phytonutrients and antioxidants. Chlorophyll is one such phytonutrient that helps your body heal itself and increases energy. There are lots of green plants to be found in this plan, like in the Turmeric Navy Bean Stuffed Pita with Fresh Pear Slices.

Blue and Purple

Blueberries, beets, and red cabbage contain anthocyanin, an antioxidant that helps protect against cancer, inflammation, and promotes heart health. We’ve got you covered with the Stir Fried Veggie Millet and Rainbow Salad Bowl.

White 

Foods like garlic, onions, and potatoes contain anthoxanthin which protects against cell damage and inflammation. You’ll find these ingredients in the Sweet and Tangy Baked Beans and the Smoky Potato Corn Chowder.
