1/2 Avocado: Research shows that antioxidants such as lycopene and beta-carotene are better absorbed with the healthy monounsaturated fat avocados have in abundance.
1/4 small onion: Onions may be a useful for the prevention of cardiovascular disease, especially since they diminish the risk of blood clots.
1 small tomato: Vitamin C!
1 oz blue cheese: The high calcium content of cheese helps prevent bone loss and migraine headaches.
1/4 of a green apple: Contains a lot of fiber, which is good for digestion.
5 almonds: Great source of healthy fats and protein.
1 tbs vinaigrette: Much healthier than any salad dressing without the calories!
1 tbs green salsa (optional): Ads a little kick of spicy flavor! It is also said that spicy foods help speed up your metabolism.
