Red cabbage really has more of a purple hue, and works great steamed, sauteed, pickled, or raw! Anyway you like it you can enjoy a heaping portion of vitamins A and C.

when it rains for two weeks straight and you can’t swim in your actual pool…a pool of almond butter is truly your only option. this almond butter loaded sweet potato was inspired by @furthermore and their meal prep program! the platform provides recipe inspo and has loads of recipes that you can create at home using ingredients you have on hand already. this is one of my favorites (the recipe also calls for bananas but i don’t eat them so i made up for it with lots of chocolate chips because same difference 😏). definitely worth checking out, especially if you’re in a creativity rut with your meals. because let’s be honest, it happens to all of us sometimes! #gofurtherwantmore #fmmealprep . . . #healthyfood #healthy #foodie #cleaneats #foodblogger #plantbased #vegan #vegetarian #cleaneating #wellness #fitness #healthyinspo #healthylife #glutenfree #healthymeals #stuffedsweetpotato #sweetpotato #plantpower #thenewhealthy

If you want to add a dash of sunshine to your plate, look at sweet potatoes! Not only are they jam-packed with vitamin A they have almost no calories and can be treated as you would a starch! Mash them, roast them, even make them into fries.

Green

You have the most options with green, so go for anything from leafy greens to broccoli to zucchini. If you are vegetarian though you should stick to anything that is dark green because that means it will give you iron and calcium.

Yellow

Yellow squash is perfect roasted off for a bit in the oven and will take any spice you give it. And in return, it will give you potassium and no calories!
