Garbanzo Beans

All beans are good beans. They're rich in protein, fiber, iron, magnesium, potassium, and zinc. But garbanzos stand out because they're so versatile. Just drain, rinse, and toss a handful on your green salad; throw them into vegetable stews, curries, and soups; mix them with brown rice, whole wheat couscous, bulgur, or other whole grains.

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!
