I’d like to eat my 5 a day
But how can I achieve it
When I just poke the healthy food around
And then just leave it?!

So from today I vow to eat
A healthy rainbow diet
I’ll make my plate explode with food
That starts a colour riot!

Red can be tomatoes,
Then orange, (that’s the fruit!)
Or maybe, just for fun, I’ll eat
Some beans to make me toot!

Then moving swiftly on I’ll have
Bananas for my tea
They are the perfect fruit for giving
Energy to me.

Then greens: there really is a lot
Of choice within this shade
The grocer has an awesome range
Of healthy greens displayed.

Let’s start with apples, my favourite,
Then broccoli and peas
Then runner beans and sprouts
Which, truthfully, will rarely please!

Then blue berries are tasty
As they’re full of lots of juice
Cereals and puddings tend to be
Their favourite use.

Indigo is tricky:
Grapes are all that spring to mind...
The tastiest alternative to
Choc’late I can find!

Finally, my food rainbow
Is finished with the best
The luxury of raspberries;
Better than the rest!

Now have a try yourself and
Make a rainbow that includes
Lots of lovely colours made
Of bright and healthy foods.
