RED 

Strawberries filled with Vitamin C and fiber are paired with chocolate hazelnut spread on 100% whole wheat toast.

ORANGE

Peaches have Vitamin, Potassium, and Fiber that are delicious on a cloud of Greek yogurt cream cheese.

YELLOW

Potassium, fiber, Vitamin B6, and Vitamin C in bananas are the perfect pair to creamy protein packed peanut butter.

GREEN

Green apples are rich in Vitamin C and fiber. They are also rich in a phytochemical called quercetin that shows potential protective effects against cancer and heart disease. These crisp apples complement the peanut butter that provide protein for satiety.

BLUE

Plump and juicy blueberries and Greek yogurt cream cheese are a power couple on toast. Blueberries are filled with manganese, Vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidants. They are perfect for little hands.

PURPLE

While you may be used to have grapes in the form of jelly, there is no reason it can’t make it on your toast in it’s original form. Purple grapes are filled with antioxidants and Vitamin K, Copper, and Vitamin B2.
