Build a balanced plate checklist!
Once you have added something to your plate, check it off
- ¼ of my plate contains protein (legumes, eggs, meat, yogurt, tofu)
- ½ of my plate contains a fruit or veggie (Broccoli, cabbage, green beans, spinach, bok choy, carrots, brussel sprouts, berries etc.)
- ¼ of my plate contains a smart carb or grain (red/sweet potatoes, brown rice, quinoa, squash, whole grain bread)
- My plate contains a healthy fat in some way (cooking oil, butter, avocado, almonds, peanuts)
- Optional: my plate contains a small portion of dairy somehow (milk, cheese, yogurt)
