Green Beans
Green beans provide immune boosting properties as they contain high amounts of vitamins A & C that help the body fight infection and heal from illness. Their green color indicates they contain a lot of folate, an important B vitamin that is needed to produce red blood cells. Green beans are also a great source of calcium and magnesium that work together to build strong and healthy bones.
Quinoa
Quinoa is a super source of plant-based protein, a nutrient in high demand during this phase of rapid growth. Quinoa is also a great source of zinc, a critical nutrient that plays a key role in helping your child grow at a proper rate.
Butter Beans
Butter beans provide proteins, healthy carbs, and a generous amount of fiber. This combination helps regulate blood sugar, keeps energy levels balanced, and improves digestion.
Tomato
Tomatoes are an excellent source of vitamin C! When obtaining iron from plant-based foods, it is important to pair it with foods rich in vitamin C because vitamin C is needed for plant-based iron to get absorbed into the blood and be used by the body.
