Healthy Holiday Challenge
Week 5, December 6-12

“Fill your plate with the colors of the rainbow. What pleases the eye, pleases the body." - Deepak Chopra
This Week's Theme:

Taste the Rainbow

Consuming a variety of colors in fruits and vegetables means a variety of different nutrients. By eating various colors and tasting the rainbow, you are sure to be getting all kinds of healthy vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals! The focus this week is on nutrition, but more specifically on those colorful veggies. Your challenge is to eat as many colors of the rainbow by combining vegetables on the same plate, or spread out in different meals throughout the day. Aim to make half of your plate non-starchy vegetables and find more healthy inspiration in these recipes!

Print your favorite design of the Healthy Holiday Challenge Pledge, fill it out, then post it in a visible place to remind you of your commitment. Use the Personal Success Tracker to check off each day that you have completed the weekly challenge. As you work on the challenge each week, write notes to yourself on what did/did not work.
