"Run the Rainbow, Eat the Rainbow" Giveaway in May
Two great Boston-based companies, ChopChop Magazine and New Balance have teamed up this spring to promote eating more fruits and vegetables with their “Run the Rainbow, Eat the Rainbow” contest, and a special giveaway just for FitMamaEats readers.
Run the Rainbow is reflected in New Balance’s jazzy new 890v3 Rainbow shoe. They're lightweight but have solid support with a rubber outsole for active kids...perfect for running, jumping and just
playing around outside in the warmer weather that has finally arrived! Eat the Rainbow helps kids get in the habit of eating a wide palette of fruits and veggies. It's pretty amazing that the most vibrant colors are found naturally in produce thanks to hundreds of special plant chemicals. The more variety you include, the more types of these disease-fighting phytonutrients you get! Rainbow fruit kabobs are quick, easy and guaranteed to be a kid pleaser. Let's face it, we adults don't eat enough produce let alone our kids, so these recipes benefit the whole family. Here's a basic one from ChopChop Magazine:

Ingredients: Purple grapes, blueberries, kiwis peeled and cut into chunks, pineapple chunks, cantaloupe chunks, raspberries or strawberries
Instructions: For each kabob, thread the fruit onto a skewer in rainbow order. Try dipping into your favorite yogurt for extra nutrients.
