Is Chicken Healthy?
Chicken is a healthy source of animal protein. One serving of chicken breast (3oz or 85g) contains 24g of protein and 3g of fat. Chicken is rich in niacin (vitamin B3), selenium, vitamins B6 and B12. These nutrients help break down macronutrients and to turn them into energy, form DNA, and promote a healthy nervous system, amongst other things. However, if you are plant-based, feel free to swap the chicken for tempeh or chickpeas.
What are the benefits of eating bell peppers?
Bell peppers add color to the dish – or capsicum for my fellow Aussies- but are also packed with great nutrients and are low in calories (31 calories for 100g/3.5 oz). Bell peppers are high in vitamins A, B6, C, E, and K1. They’re also rich in folates and potassium. One red bell pepper can even provide 169% of the recommended daily dose of vitamin C! Carotenoids, essential antioxidants, are also abundant in bell peppers. They boost the immune system and are crucial for eye health and growth. Do not shy away from them! They are incredibly nutritious and super tasty! Paired with potatoes and chicken, they are part of a healthy balanced meal!
