Top 10 Healthy Rainbow Food Ideas

It's no secret that I love bright rainbow colours, and if we're talking about edible rainbows, then all the better! I've created a list of my top 10 healthy rainbow food ideas, all of which are free from food colourings, using the natural rainbow colours found in fruit and vegetables, just as nature intended.  

I frequently think that we are so lucky to have access to such an amazing range of fruit and vegetables, it has never been so easy to eat a rainbow!

Eating a variety of colours of foods is really important because you find different nutrients in different coloured foods, so eating a diet with a great balance of different colours can help your body to get everything that it needs to keep you as healthy as possible. Not to mention the fact that eating a rainbow is just so much fun, check out all of these yummy rainbow recipes - truly a feast for the eyes!

 

Rainbow Fruit Skewers - these are so simple to make and perfect for many different occaions, from lunch boxes and after snacks to breakfast, dessert and even party food, these lovely rainbow fruit skewers are sure to be a hit whatever the occasion.

Rainbow Pitta Pizzas - When I spotted these beautiful rainbow pizzas over at Feeding Finn I was instantly in love. The beautiful colours elevate a simple pizza to something extra amazing!

Rainbow Fruit Ice Cubes - another super simple idea, these rainbow fruit ice cubes are perfect for special occasions all year round. Pop them in plain or fizzy water for a fun healthy drink for kids, or add them to lemonade or even cocktails for a special occasion.

Rainbow Muffin Tin Meal - tempt a picky eater with a rainbow tasting platter of delicious rainbow fruits and vegetables! Mix in some new foods with old favourites, add some cute bento picks and you've got a good chance they'll give them all a go!

Rainbow Veggie Skewers - These amazing rainbow skewers from Gimme Some Oven make the humble vegetable unbelievably beautiful! They make a fantastic side dish or extra pretty party food.

Rainbow Omelette Cakes - Hide your veggies in plain sight with these yummy rainbow mini omelettes.  Packed with a rainbow of vegetables, they're perfect for picnics and school lunches too.

Rainbow Smoothie - I just had to include these beautiful rainbow smoothies from Sweet and Savory by Shinee that I recently stumbled across whilst browsing my beloved Pinterest. I'll be trying this recipe as soon as possible and I know my kids will be blown away by the amazing rainbow colours (actually, never mind the kids, I can't wait to try it myself!).

Rainbow Fruit & Veg Snack Platter - This was fun and easy to throw together and was thoroughly enjoyed by my older son when I made it in celebration of St Patrick's Day a few years ago. To make it, I arranged red grapes, little circles of raw candy striped beetroot, strips of red pepper, carrot flowers  (cut out with mini bento cutters), strips of yellow pepper, cucumber stars (also cut out with mini bento cutters) and a few raw sugar snap peas to form rainbow on a large blue plate. I peeled and thinly sliced a mini Babybel cheese and arranged it to form a cloud, then finished the snack plate off with some yummy chocolate coins as a treat.

Rainbow Fruit Sundae - Last but not least, my kids always love a rainbow fruit salad, and it looks extra lovely arranged in a tall sundae glass like this one. We also love keeping a bowl of our simple rainbow fruit salad in the fridge ready to grab and go for breakasts, snacks and desserts, yum!
