Ever wonder how to get iron from places that don’t come from animals? This is for you.
Leafy greens like spinach and kale (pictured here) are rich sources of non-heme iron. Non-heme iron is not absorbed as readily as as the iron found in animal meat, called heme-iron; but, adding citrus– like lemon to your spinach, or in this case tomato sauce, helps to boost absorption.

This dish:
–Brown rice penne pasta
–Newman’s Own Marinara sauce
–3 stalks of kale
–a dash of pepper, basil, and Parmesan cheese

Looking for a breakfast boost? Try adding Greek yogurt to your morning routine. Many companies make it – Chobani (as pictured), Stonyfield, Dannon.

Why is it good? It Has 2x the protein as regular yogurt, and can be found with 0-2% fat and is around 150 calories.

This one featured is Chobani black cherry: 140 calories, 0 g fat, 14 g protein.

Give it a shot!

My favorites: black coffee, green tea, and on occasion hot chocolate! For a healthier/ dairy-free version, heat up a mug of chocolate soy milk
