Tri-Color Bell Peppers Omelette - rainbow diet or "traffic light'"

If pediatricians recommend a rainbow diet to toddlers and infants, for the wide-ranging colors leading to essential and complete nutrition, adults should look at this with thoughts and action too. Recently, I have been trying to incorporate different colors of nutrition into our diet. Well, vegetables are good. Greens are essential but too boring. Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet - colors of the rainbow. I do not have difficulties with the first four colors but can someone give me more options for Blue, Indigo and Violet. Eggplant falls into this category. What else?

If attaining a rainbow diet is too ambitious, why not try the "traffic light" diet as a first step?


The ingredients are pretty basic and colorful as laid out in my "new' kitchen organizer - muffin pan.

Bell Peppers Capsicum Omelette

And since it is Wholesome Breakfast over at Spice your Life, this tri-color peppers omelette should work well as a sandwich filler for a kid's breakfast or even a packed lunch to school. I know some kids shun away from bell peppers but I hope the colors will entice them and that bell peppers can be incorporated as part of the diet.
