Fight off germs and cut down on your number of sick days by keeping your immune system
strong! Hy-Vee Dietitian, Erin Good, shares her top 3 must-eat foods for superior health that
you can eat and enjoy in minutes.
Eat Better Today, Easy as 1-2-3:
① Kiwi: simply slice, scoop, and eat! Did you know one kiwi has more vitamin C than an orange AND more potassium than a banana? It's true, so eat one of these nutrition powerhouses daily instead of gulping more orange juice.
② Sweet potatoes: rich in vitamin A, vitamin C, and fiber. Pierce potato with a fork and microwave 5 minutes or until tender. Top with your favorite nut butter (or sunflower butter) and a pinch of cinnamon for a tasty treat!
③ Bell peppers: contain 2x as much vitamin C as citrus fruits! Swap out your pancakes and toaster pastries with this simple, immune-boosting recipe.
Better-4-U Breakfast Nachos:
In a nonstick pan, sauté bell peppers, onions, chicken sausage (or other desired protein) and canned black beans (rinsed & drained) for about 5 minutes.
Push mixture to one side of the pan and add eggs.
Cook until scrambled and mix well.
Spoon mixture over tortilla chips.
Top with shredded cheese, avocado slices, and/or salsa.
Enjoy immediately!
Stay healthy!
