Healthy Bites:
- The WHITE BEANS that accompany the spice-rubbed steak are an excellent source of dietary fiber, magnesium, and folate, all of which have been shown to help fight heart disease. For pregnant women, a diet rich in folate has also been shown to lower the incidence of birth defects.
- CHERRY TOMATOES contain lycopene, a powerful antioxidant that studies indicate may help prevent several types of cancer.
- Eating fiber- and vitamin-rich ASPARAGUS (in the chicken
cutlets) helps support heart and immune system health. Studies show that asparagus is also rich in compounds that promote healthy digestion. - An ounce of ALMONDS, one of the ingredients in the chocolate parfaits, provides half the daily recommended dose of vitamin E, an
antioxidant that boosts healthy skin and circulation.
