Nutrition Facts
Tomato toast magic! Tomatoes are rich in the carotenoid - lycopene. Lycopene is a health protective plant compound that is found in most red coloured fruits and vegetables. We absorb much more lycopene from tomatoes, when the tomatoes are sliced, chopped, or cooked with a bit of olive oil. Enjoy some today!
Cheesy protein power. Cottage cheese is protein packed, nutrient rich and easy to add to any dish. Did you know that casein makes up 80% of the milk protein in cottage cheese? Casein is slowly absorbed into the body which helps to promote muscle gain and protect against muscle loss. If you are not able to digest lactose, try the lactose-free varieties available at most grocery stores.
Have whole grains daily. Whole grains have more nutrition than refined grains and adds much needed fibre to our diet. Just switching from white bread to whole grain bread adds 2 grams of fibre per slice. Simple switches, like this, get us closer to our minimum requirement of 25 grams of fibre daily.
