Why It’s Good For You:
Avocado provides heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, fiber, and potassium, making it great for lowering cholesterol and supporting overall heart health.
Radishes are a great source of vitamin C and antioxidants, supporting immune health and giving your skin a healthy glow.
Alfalfa Sprouts are packed with vitamins K and C, and are rich in antioxidants that promote detoxification and overall well-being.
Parmesan Cheese adds a small dose of protein and calcium while offering a rich umami flavor without overwhelming the dish.
Seeds like pumpkin and chia are full of omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and essential minerals like zinc and magnesium, which help support brain function and immune health.
Red Spices like chili flakes and paprika not only add flavor but can also boost metabolism and reduce inflammation.
