Three B's in a pod

Day 3- Broccoli
serving recommendation: 1/2 cup to a cup daily

This broccoli is excited to get fit.. how about you?
  • Great source of iron, especially for vegetarians that may be lacking in the Fe department.
  • Has calcium,  vitamin C, vitamin K
  • another good source of fiber.
  • Many studies show that broccoli has a powerful effect on your risk of getting cancer, most specifically cancers with the lungs, stomach, colon, and rectum.
  • Broccoli helps your eyes from aging and help build bones
  • good news is you get different benefits from eating raw as opposed to eating it cooked, so therefore eat it both ways.
Ways to eat  
  • I love steaming broccoli and putting some lemon and garlic on it. 
  • you can cook it up in some stir-fries
  • just snack on it raw.. but please, resist the ranch, or substitute for hummus (BEANS =])
  • good news is you can even get benefits out of frozen broccoli so always keep a pack in the freezer
  • in the morning with your eggs
