Though eating the same foods day-in and day-out can be convenient, it’s best to switch things up every now and again. This practice can prevent burnout and eating a variety of foods will ensure that you get all the nutrients your body needs to function at its best. Specifically, varying your diet will help you get more of those micronutrients and phytonutrients I talked about in the Add More Color section. You don’t have to eat an extravagant meal for breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day; it just means you should add new foods to your meals and snacks every now and then.

• If your go-to is a protein shake every morning, try swapping the shake for oatmeal twice a week. Or make chia pudding and serve with berries and granola. Both options can be made in advance and taken to-go if your mornings are typically rushed.

• If you have a sandwich for lunch every day, turn that sandwich into a salad (greens, chopped veggies, tomatoes, avocado, nuts, seeds, etc.) and have whole grain crackers with hummus on the side.

• If you have chicken with some type of veggie and rice every night for dinner, swap out the chicken for salmon. Or, go meatless and make a dish using tofu, tempeh, beans, or legumes.
