Eat 20 plants

[tipperary]

Morning all, so we know that it is important to eat a wide variety of foods. Recently I read that as well as eating the rainbow we should be eating over 20 plant based foods weekly not for weight loss specifically but to improve your gut biome.
So the challenge is simple, eat 20 plants each week.

Be mindful, it's not eat plant 20 times, it's eat 20 different plant based foods, not as easy as you think.

You can list your own daily if you wish then just copy paste and update your list as you go. No need to copy anyone else's.
So week one starts today 18/03/2023.

@tipperary this is a really helpful challenge, well done on starting it. I’ll join you on Week 2 starting 25.3.23 as I really need to get a big shop done this week and stock up so I won’t be under pressure to complete the challenge.

Well done again, I’m really looking forward to this one x

 

[tipperary]

That's great @Halley . I've got 9 plant foods in already on day one which seems good but most of them will be repeated through the week so not as easy as it seems

 

[Halley]

Yes, I understand @tipperary I generally eat the same things too - that’s why I’m going to plan, stock up and concentrate on this challenge to get to the 20 foods each week!

 

[tipperary]

19 done and two days left but am struggling to add more in. Yes I will be eating veg today but it will be the same ones I've already eaten this week. I added Pecans to my yogurt yesterday instead of almonds to add one more. Maybe peanut with chicken this evening, or sesame seeds. The whole point is to feed your gut biome as wide a variety as possible.
