- Almonds (in the chocolate tart and the spinach salad) might be small, but they're packed full of protein. They also have more calcium than any other nut. Plus, just one serving of almonds provides half of your daily value of Vitamin E.
- Load up on yams (red-skinned sweet potatoes) in our tilapia served with pancetta-sage breadcrumbs and enjoy the benefits of a low-calorie, fat-free, cancer-fighting food.
- Lentils are an amazing source of heart-healthy fiber. Not only does fiber lower cholesterol and help maintain a steady blood sugar, it makes meals more satisfying. The result: Fiber keeps you full longer, without adding any extra calories.
- Spinach is an impressive source of Vitamin A, which is essential for eye health. One cup (from the spinach salad) supplies half a day's recommended dose.
- Quinoa (served risotto-style) is a complete protein that has all nine essential amino acids for good health.
