Quinoa: Rich in fiber, phytonutrients, and amino acids to help prevent disease.

Pasture-raised chicken: Contains 50% more vitamin A, three times the amount of omega-3s, and is more sustainable. I purchase 100% pasture-raised meat online from US Wellness or Grassroots Co Op (Use code “LIVNATURALLY” for 15% off) Of course, ground meat provides a lot of protein too!

Olive oil: Rich in monounsaturated fats, polyphenols, and antioxidants to reduce inflammation.

Tahini: Rich in b vitamins, healthy fats, and minerals to support hormones, skin health, and blood pressure.
