Adding nutrition to a daily menu involves incorporating a variety of nutrient-dense foods from all food groups to ensure you’re meeting your body’s needs for essential vitamins, minerals, protein, carbohydrates, and fats. Aim to fill half of your plate with colorful fruits and vegetables at each meal. They are rich in vitamins, minerals, fiber, and antioxidants. Here one recipe to help you to load up on vegetables.
