WOW hard to believe we are already in 2023! So let’s start the year off making some healthy food choices. What’s better than adding fish or seafood once or twice a week to your family dinner plans?
Forever Oceans kanpachi is not only delicious, with a rich buttery taste, it is also some of the best natural nutrition to be found comparable with chicken and beef protein-wise but with far less fat. It’s also packed with Omega 3s. So it’s excellent for your brain as it is for the rest of you.
Add some fresh tomatoes which are the major source of the antioxidant lycopene, which has been linked to many health benefits, including reduced risk of heart disease and cancer. Tomatoes are also a great source of vitamin C, potassium, folate and vitamin k.
Butter beans are rich in vitamins and minerals, which are important for overall health. A source of potassium, magnesium, folate, iron, and zinc, they also contain calcium and protein. Add all of this together and not only do you have a great tasting dinner, but a real healthy option for the family to enjoy.
