Eating the Rainbow

For the past month we introduced new (and some old) fruits and vegetables to the children at lunch and snack times. We ate the fruits and veggies weekly by color. Our weeks included:

Red: grapes, strawberries, tomatoes, cranberries, beets, raspberries, apples, red peppers, red potatoes, watermelon, pomegranates

Orange/Yellow: oranges, carrots, peaches, yellow pepper, pineapple, mangoes, sweet potatoes, pears, cantaloupe, lemonade, yellow squash, apricots, corn, mandarin oranges

Green: grapes, honeydew, asparagus, kiwi, broccoli, celery, spinach, lettuce, apples, green peppers, avacados, peas, limeade

Blue/Purple & White/Brown: blackberries, figs, blueberries, grapes, plums, eggplant, bananas, jicama, potatoes, mushrooms, cauliflower

The children got one sticker for every fruit and vegetable that they tried!

We ended our weeks by eating stir fry with many of our veggies and a fruit salad!!
