Nutritional Bonus:
When you think of vitamin C, oranges and bell peppers may spring to mind, but don’t forget Brussels sprouts! The little cabbages are chock-full of the nutrient, which helps the body maintain healthy tendons, ligaments and bones (you’ll get 168% of your daily need in each serving of this side!). Brussels sprouts have also been shown to contain low amounts of pesticide residue compared to other vegetables, making them an excellent clean veggie option, even if you can’t purchase organic.
