A little variety on your plate

Build on the meals you already enjoy.

A varied diet can include grains, pulses, vegetables, fruit and suitable protein foods. There is no single plate that suits everyone.

Keep your usual rice, bread, noodles or potatoes. As a practical idea, add dal and one vegetable you like. Change one part of your meal instead of rebuilding everything.

One small step to try

Add one vegetable to your next meal.

Small steps make a difference too.
