Here’s a little twist to your normal Friday night burger! Light, colorful, nutritious, and an easy way to incorporate more seafood into your diet. This recipe calls for one pound of wild salmon and will definitely feed two hungry humans. Each of you will consume almost 5 grams of DHA and EPA healthy fats, coming from the fish!
Enjoy the ‘king of fruits’ the M A N G O! This king is high in fiber, copper, potassium, magnesium, and calcium. Mangoes are rich in antioxidants. Remember, antioxidants help reduce the negative effects of free radicals and neutralize them. Potassium is great for those of us sweating through the Arizona summer and work out regularly.
Mangoes are said to be vitamin powerhouses as they are rich in riboflavin, vitamin B6, A, C, E, K, niacin, folate, thiamin and panthothenic acid. These components help you to avoid a host of diseases that can come from deficiencies of these vitamins and minerals. The vitamin E content in mangoes can even help to boost your sex life by triggering the activity of your sex hormones.
No extra charge for the avocado, guac style, chutney!
