Question

which of the following menu items has ingredients that represent all myplate food groups? multiple choice ready - to - eat cereal with strawberries, blueberries, wheat germ, and fat - free milk salad made with hard - cooked eggs, grapes, leaf lettuce, cooked pasta, and cheddar cheese smoothie made with vanilla yogurt, lowfat milk, orange juice, wheat germ, and fresh peaches sandwich made with swiss cheese, cooked ham, mayonnaise, and two slices of buttered whole - wheat bread

Explanation:

MyPlate food groups are fruits, vegetables, grains, protein foods, and dairy. Let's analyze each option:

• First option: Cereal (grain), strawberries/blueberries (fruit), wheat germ (grain), fat - free milk (dairy). Missing protein and vegetable? No, wait, maybe I miscounted. Wait, no, let's check the second option: Hard - cooked eggs (protein), grapes (fruit), leaf lettuce (vegetable), cooked pasta (grain), cheddar cheese (dairy). This has all five groups: fruit (grapes), vegetable (lettuce), grain (pasta), protein (eggs), dairy (cheese).
• Third option: Yogurt (dairy), milk (dairy), orange juice (fruit), wheat germ (grain), peaches (fruit). Missing protein and vegetable.
• Fourth option: Swiss cheese (dairy), ham (protein), mayonnaise (fat, not a MyPlate group), whole - wheat bread (grain). Missing fruit and vegetable.

So the salad has all MyPlate food groups.

Answer:

B. Salad made with hard - cooked eggs, grapes, leaf lettuce, cooked pasta, and cheddar cheese
