Pair These Foods Together for a Nutrient Boost
The combination of vitamins and minerals determines the nutritional value of food and other nutrients it contains. While many foods are a good source of one or two nutrients, very few provide all the nutrients our bodies need. However, we can create nutritionally complete meals by carefully combining different foods. By taking advantage of the varying nutritional profiles of different foods, we can ensure that our bodies get all the nutrients they need to function properly.
Here are five unexpected food pairings for maximum nutrition:
Dark Chocolate and Acai Berries
You might not expect these two items to go together, but they make for a delicious and nutritious snack. Not only do they taste great together, but they also provide a plethora of health benefits. Dark chocolate is packed with antioxidants, and acai berries are rich in fiber and vitamins. This pairing will surely boost your energy and help you power through your day.
Black Beans and Quinoa
This duo is perfect for anyone looking for a hearty and nutritious meal. Black beans are a great source of protein, and quinoa is full of fiber and vitamins. Together, they make a complete protein that will leave you feeling full and satisfied. This pairing is vegan and gluten-free, making it an excellent option for those with dietary limitations.
Sweet Potato and Avocado
Who would have thought these two ingredients would make such a perfect pair? Sweet potatoes are an excellent source of Vitamin A, and avocados are filled with healthy fats. This pairing is ideal for those looking for a nutrient-dense meal that will give them lasting energy throughout the day.
Kale and Blueberries
Here's another pairing that is as delicious as it is nutritious. Kale is one of the most nutrient-rich leafy greens, and blueberries are packed with antioxidants. This duo will boost your immune system and help keep you healthy all season long.
Broccoli and Garlic
Last but not least, we have broccoli and garlic – two ingredients that you probably always have on hand. Broccoli is jam-packed with vitamins and minerals, while garlic boasts anti-inflammatory properties. This pair makes for a simple yet nutrient-rich side dish you can enjoy any night of the week.
As you can see, there are many benefits to pairing up certain foods. By properly combining foods, you can increase the nutritional value that your body takes in. So next time you want to get the most out of your meals, try pairing up some of these unexpected combinations for maximum nutritional value.
