QUINOA | COMPLETE PLANT-BASED PROTEIN
Quinoa is one of the few plant-based foods that contains all nine essential amino acids, making it a complete protein. It’s also high in fiber, magnesium, iron, and antioxidants. Quinoa supports muscle repair, promotes digestive health, and stabilizes blood sugar levels.
TURMERIC | ANTI-INFLAMMATORY SUPERFOOD
Turmeric contains curcumin, a powerful compound known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It supports joint health, boosts brain function, and aids in digestion. Turmeric also plays a role in detoxifying the body and improving overall skin health.
ROASTED VEGGIES | FULL OF VITAMINS AND MINERALS
Roasted vegetables such as carrots, bell peppers, and sweet potatoes are rich in vitamins A, C, and E, which are essential for skin health, immunity, and eye function. The roasting process enhances the natural sweetness and flavors of the veggies, creating a satisfying and nutritious dish.
