Leafy Greens

Don't miss out on powerhouse greens like kale, collards, spinach, turnip greens, and Swiss chard. These standout leafy greens are jam-packed with vitamins A, C, and K, folate, potassium, magnesium, calcium, iron, lutein, and fiber. Serve with a splash of lemon juice or red wine vinegar.

I like mine with balsamic vineger and olive oil!

Unsweetened Yogurt

Plain yogurt has a pleasant tartness that's a perfect foil for the natural sweetness of berries, bananas, or for your favorite breakfast cereal. It has more protein, potassium, calcium, zinc, and vitamins B6 and B12 than sweetened yogurt. That's because it doesn't have to share the container with the sugary preserves or the sugar that's in many flavored yogurts.

Most yogurts are also full of live and active cultures, healthy bacteria that is great for a healthy gut! Try kefir as well, a drinkable yogurt with even more benefits than yogurt, because it is fermented!
