Notice what already counts.
Fruits, vegetables, beans, grains, nuts, seeds, herbs, and spices all count as plant foods. The guide helps you see the variety your child already has.
Weekly Plant Challenge for kids.
How many different plant foods can your family eat this week? Aim for 20 to 30 types across fruits, vegetables, herbs, nuts, seeds, beans, and grains. Variety feeds the gut microbiome better than perfection ever will.

A simple way to make plant variety feel doable.
Use the download as a weekly tracker, not a diet plan. It helps you count variety across the whole week and choose one gentle next step.
Add one easy plant at a time.
Choose small, realistic adds: berries at breakfast, avocado on a plate, lentils in soup, chia in yogurt, or herbs in a sauce.
Keep the pressure low.
This is not about clean plates. A taste, a smell, or one curious bite can still help build familiarity and make meals feel calmer.
A gentle note
Food variety should not become another family battle.
If your child has constipation, reflux, belly pain, eczema, anxiety around food, gagging, severe picky eating, or a short list of safe foods, the plant challenge may reveal that the gut needs more support. That is a good reason to start with a free consult.
