FOOD FOR MIND
BODY
AND SOUL
Variety
Green spotlight foods are the foundation of your plate. Simply prepared fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins and non-fat dairy are common green dot foods. Every day, add a variety of these foods to at least half your plate for added colour and nutrients.
Balance
Yellow spotlight foods add a mix of nutrients and flavours to your plate. Yellow dot foods include fruits, vegetables, grains, proteins and low-fat dairy prepared with moderate amounts of added sugar, fat and / or salt. Balance your plate by filling a quarter to a half of it with yellow spotlight foods.
Moderation
Red spotlight foods provide valuable nutrients, but also contain some you want to moderate. Focusing on portion or frequency is a great way to enjoy red dot foods. Reserve a quarter of your plate for foods like Pasta, or add items like pizza to your plate a couple of times per week.
