She's a clever girl, really.
A friend of mine has planned to spend the next month eating huge amounts of certain foods each week to see if she can get her urine to change colour, starting with spinach.

I am anticipating postworthy results from her efforts. Who says those PhD types are stuffy and boring?

Beetroot
That's the best one I've found. Also turns your poo purple! Best results from cooking whole beetroot, non of that pickled nonsense, if you've a steamer to cook it in then even better.

Going green
There's a curry place near me that makes a 'green' curry - everything in it is bright green.

I can testify to the fact that it turns both your pee and your poo an alarming shade of green.

This morning
Bleary eyed and only fuzzily managing to grunt the meekest of greetings to my house mate through my barely concious state as I made my way to begin partaking my morning rituals in the bath room.

I casually noticed the floor was wet as someone hadn't put the shower mat on the floor again, as one notices the colour of the walls or something equally mundane. I began to release my stream of relief into the toilet, when suddenly some primal animal part of my brain kicked in. Through my sleepy barely conscious state I could casually observe the inner workings of my mind.

My eyes communicated fear and panic to my brain stem at exactly the same time as my bladder relayed its gratitude and pleasure at being emptied to my reward centres.

The result was a pleased fearful confusion, then suddenly following brief communication between brain stem and adrenal glands approximately five litres of adrenaline were dumped into my system, like the breaking of a dam.

Consciousness kicked in to my mind like a vision of Arnie in the jungle armed to the teeth, ready and waiting, my usually perfect aim briefly deteriorated, before a dozen different sphincter muscles snapped shut at the speed of sound.

I swear my housemate heard the sonic boom.

My eyes suddenly focussed on the unusual colour of the water, pre-U-bend.

"Oh shit! My kidneys are fucked!" I thought. Brief panic and tears welled into my eyes.

"Oh well, I'd had a good run, best make the most of what's left" I resigned myself to jaundiced death.

The adrenaline then eventually awakened parts of my memory, which is admittedly slower than others parts due to massive (and quite jolly times casued by) the old waccy baccy.

Yup, last night, I'd eaten an entire punnet of "lightly vinegered" beetroot.

Lovely! Now I'm expecting some truly interesting emails from her. There's one food that's supposed to turn it purple but I don't remember what she said that was.

I'd suggest the precaution of a gas mask
If she eats a box of Sugar puffs

Ooh
I think she should focus on getting prime colours and then mixing those foods up to get a whole rainbow of coloured poos!
