The secret behind good nutrition is to know your foods.
Did you know food is naturally color-coded? The color indicates the nutrients contained in the foods. So red, green and yellow are not just for traffic signals, lol!
Luise and David at GreenKitchenStories have given three color-coded smoothie recipes that will fuel and heal your body. This knowledge is useful for all of us, but especially useful to those who love to workout, as some foods prepare, aid and heal our bodies in the exercise cycle. Luise says …

Yellow and orange fruit are rich in vitamin C and flavonoids. Red and purple vegetables and fruit contain anthocyanins and lycopene. So try to vary different colors on different days for best result.
