The Fruit and Veggie Challenge: Win a $40 Whole Foods Gift Card!

We all know that it's important to eat lots of fruits and veggies, but if we're honest, most of us aren't eating our 5-a-day minimum.  So, for the next 28 days, we have a challenge for you.  Well be posting a new tip, recipe or idea to help you and your family consume more fruits and veggies each day.  Our goal is that by the end of the month, you'll have tons of fun, easy and delicious ways to incorporate more produce into your diet.

And if being a healthier you isn't enough, we're gonna throw in a little something extra.  Each time you complete a challenge, come back and leave a comment on that days post here or on our facebook page (you have to be a blog follower or a facebook fan for it to count) and let us know how the challenge went.  Each comment you leave will be an entry into our drawing for a $40 Whole Foods Gift Card at the end of the month!

Ready to get going?  Here's today's challege:

Eat the rainbow!  Each different color in fruits and veggies represents a different vitamin, mineral or phytochemical (little disease fighters!).  Today, see if you can eat a fruit or veggie from every color of the rainbow.  Don't forget to leave a comment and let us know how you did!
