Besides being protein packed and easy to make, this dish is chock-full of all kinds of vitamins and minerals your body craves. And getting the nutrients you need means your body will be much less prone to symptoms.


Spinach and tomatoes are incredibly beneficial for so many reasons! Tomatoes (which are a fruit by the way, not a veggie), are a great source of vitamins C and K, folate, and potassium. Plus the spinach fuels your body with vitamins B6, A, C, E, K, calcium, iron, manganese, and more! Serve this one over quinoa for a serving of healthy carbs.
