Adding more color to your foods makes meals more interesting and may add nutrients to your diet.

The American Heart Association suggests how to add color to your plate:

• Eat seasonal fruits and vegetables to add variety to your meals.
• Roast, grill or saute fruits and veggies.
• Add fresh veggies to mac and cheese, or some fruit to a meal that looks plain.
• Replace meat with veggies, such as mushrooms or eggplant.
• Stay on budget by buying produce in bulk, and freezing extras.
• Read labels to make sure that canned or frozen produce does not contain added sugar or salt.
