Nutrition has certainly gotten complicated lately. From using DNA tests for weight loss to at-home ketone testing to articles online that rank which berry is the best, it’s no wonder that our clients come to us struggling to achieve their health goals. That’s why it’s time to get back to basics and it starts with helping them actually eat a rainbow.
In this article, you’ll learn how to:
- Avoid the #1 mistake – telling clients to eat a rainbow – and discover what’s better
- How to develop a personalized plan for every client to actually eat a rainbow
- Access your FREE copy of The Rainbow Evaluation to start using right away
- Use this popular tool to reach your own pot of gold for your nutrition business
Yes, we are living in a time of information overload. We have more insights at our fingertips than ever before, but the misinformation and sensational headlines that clients ingest online on a daily basis makes it difficult for them to know what it is that they should be doing to lead more healthy lifestyles.
The truth is clients could all make great leaps forward if they actually eat a rainbow more often. Practitioners understand the value of getting in all of the colors of the rainbow and how to determine whether it is all coming from good sources, but not many clients do so on a daily basis. That’s where the BNP Rainbow Evaluation tool comes in.
The Rainbow Evaluation is one of the most popular tools in The BNP Toolkit™. This simple, yet powerful, nutrition assessment helps introduce the idea of eating the rainbow to clients. Use this engaging tool to help them make better choices, including adding foods, herbs, spices and, when needed, even supplements to get in their rainbow.

“I’ve used the Rainbow Evaluation to help clients at the food pantry as well as busy executives, athletes, and caregivers for cancer patients, and I’m excited to share how to make it work for you, too.”

3 ways to put the Rainbow Evaluation to work for you and your clients
- How often are people told to eat a rainbow? ALL THE TIME. How do you, the practitioner, know if they are getting in a rainbow more often? YOU DON’T…until now. Sure there is value in telling them the benefits of eating more colors, but the real health outcomes come when you meet them where they are and personalize their rainbow plan. From there, you can easily reassess to see their progress and develop new goals or troubleshoot challenges.
- Seasonality, budget, access, preferences, medications and tolerance all impact whether someone can or does get in their rainbow more often. With this tool you can easily show them any gaps and develop a personalized plan so that their total nutrition meets their body’s rainbow needs.
- Your client’s current rainbow choices may be less nutrient dense or higher in sugar or salt. Use the Rainbow Evaluation to see if cooking methods, processing or preservatives are making their rainbow less nutrition. Then offer suggestions for how to get more nutrient bang per bite and sip.
“This tool is valuable for everyone because it SHOWS (not tells) – even a seasoned dietitian like me – their color gaps. I was a goose egg (0 !) for daily servings of orange foods. Staring at the page was the motivation to move beyond my knowledge to make better choices. I added spices, adjusted my supplement and added a sweet potato to my weekly shopping list. #betternotperfect 🙂 ” Ashley Koff RD
