Nutrition Detective Challenge!

Let us play nutrition detective! Look at this meal and identify the vitamins and minerals:

Meal: Grilled salmon + brown rice + steamed broccoli + glass of milk + orange slices

Salmon: Protein, omega-3 fats, vitamin D, B vitamins

Brown rice: Fiber, B vitamins, iron

Broccoli: Vitamin C, vitamin A, calcium, iron, fiber

Milk: Calcium, vitamin D, protein, potassium

Orange slices: Vitamin C, fiber, potassium

This single meal covers: Vitamins A, C, D, B vitamins, calcium, iron, potassium, omega-3s, protein, and fiber. That is an INCREDIBLE nutrient profile!

Now you try: What nutrients are in YOUR favorite meal? Go through each food and think about what vitamins and minerals it contains. You might be surprised how nutritious your food already is!
