“When life hands you lemons… eat them!”
Yes! Cool and colorful! No, I’m not talking about Skittles, but I am recommending that we “eat the rainbow!” Eat colorfully! The best foods are the prettiest. I LOVE that about healthy eats. These days I look at boring beige-brown foods with sadness. Instead, I crave bright, vibrant, healthy eats. Not only are nourishing foods healthier, tastier, more fresh and satisfying… they’re also much more attractive ( if you ask me!) There’s something so beautiful about bright red pomegranate seeds, creamy green avocado, crisp golden apples, and glorious GREEN juices!
I just love bright colorful foods and I know that they love me right back! The naturally occurring antioxidants and flavonoids in foods (which help fight cancer and various diseases) give them their beautiful color. Added bonus, colorful eats (think fresh fruits and veggies) give you a natural glow. They increase your energy and help you look and feel your very best!
So for today’s motivation, I want to encourage you all to eat PRETTY FOOD! Stop focusing on what you can’t or shouldn’t eat. That kind of mindset will leave you feeling deprived and unsatisfied. Instead, start filling your plate with yummy, natural, nourishingly beautiful eats. Crowd out your diet with so many whole foods that there’s simply no room for the junk!
What about you? Do you guys have any favorite ‘pretty foods’ that help you look and feel AMAZING?!

I am trying to eat as many colours as possible at the moment and pomegranates are my favourite way to add colours to bland looking meals.
December 14, 2015 at 12:09 pmAgreed! I love colorful foods and pom seeds are just the best! 🙂
December 21, 2015 at 5:20 pmColorful food not only looks beautiful, but I have also heard of a diet technique where you are supposed to eat as colorfully as possible as it correlates with health – I guess eating lots of food with different colors (of course natural food not cheetos!) means you are getting a variety of nutrients in a meal.

December 21, 2015 at 5:19 pmSuch pretty foods!! As much as I love a good mushy plate of boring oats, there is nothing like eating a big plate of rainbow colors.
December 14, 2015 at 2:49 pmHahaha!! I hear that! I definitely LOVE oats as well! 🙂
December 21, 2015 at 5:18 pmI totally love pretty foods – I like adding cilantro to dishes, the pop of color always makes me smile, that and pomegranate – it just doesn’t get much prettier!
December 15, 2015 at 3:55 amYES! Cilantro is my favorite! Seriously, the best way to season foods! When I go out to Moe’s (Mexican Restaurant) I always ask for a big heap of cilantro! <3
December 21, 2015 at 5:17 pmI love the way a pomegranate looks when cut open! And eating pretty and colourful foods is the way to go 🙂

December 21, 2015 at 5:16 pmHaha…I love that you put the caveat in there that you weren’t talking about Skittles! And yes, a colorful plate is a happy plate! 🙂
December 15, 2015 at 2:04 pmHehe! Natures candy! 🙂 …and yay for naturally colorful eats!
December 21, 2015 at 5:16 pmI love colorful foods – especially fruits! If I could have a big bowl of fruit every single day, and my wallet not feel the consequence. As fruit is expensive during this winter season. I would! I think dragon fruit is absolutely beautiful and star fruit is so unique! Those are my favorite pretty looking fruits 🙂

December 21, 2015 at 5:12 pmThese pomegranates (that is seriously the hardest word to spell) look soooo beautiful. I haven’t had one in so long, I need to change that!
December 16, 2015 at 10:58 pmHaha, it is a super hard word to spell!! I usually just write pom seeds! Hahaha! …and yes!! They are amazing! I love them cause they’re so versatile!
December 21, 2015 at 5:12 pmEggs are my number 1 pretty food. I’m loving pomegranates lately too. And the blood oranges!
December 20, 2015 at 3:42 amYUM YUM YUM! I love all those foods! Eggs are seriously so nourishing… and pom seeds are the sweetest, with the perfect little crunch! My faves 🙂

December 21, 2015 at 5:06 pmPomegranates are the BEST! And they are so pretty in foods, especially over the holidays! What did you think of the Mean Greens juice by Garden of Flavor?! Aren’t their juices the best?!
