Wellness Program Ideas, Colorful Choices

Colorful Choices is all about healthy eating patterns anyone can adopt. By spreading daily choices across the rainbow of colors, participants are guaranteed the best produce has to offer — vitamins, minerals, fiber, and phytochemicals. This simple nutrition program shows them how to improve overall health and reduce their risk of obesity, heart disease, some cancers, diabetes, and hypertension while increasing energy.

How It Works

The goal is for participants to eat at least 5 daily produce servings, with a minimum of 3 vegetables — in red, orange, yellow/white, green, and blue/violet. Each day they log their choices in the Participant Guide and assign points — 2 for vegetables, 1 for fruits, and a bonus for Top Choices — aiming for at least 8 points/day.
