Healthy eating is a snap when you plan ahead and fill your fridge and pantry with these nutritional powerhouses.
1. Avocados
A great source of cholesterol-lowering monounsaturated fat, avocados are also high in potassium — a half-cup of pureed avocado has 583 mg.
2. Blueberries
The phytochemicals in blueberries, which give them their intense color, may reduce your risk of heart disease and certain cancers, research suggests. Blueberries are also loaded with antioxidants, vitamin C, and potassium.
3. Broccoli
Full of vitamins, fiber, and calcium, broccoli is also a great source of compounds that may offer extra protection against cancer and other chronic diseases.
