Did you know?
Romaine and collard leaves are a great alternative to bread products and add more nutritional value. If while you are chomping away someone asks you where you get your protein you can tell them that 17% of romaine is protein and it contains all 9 essential amino acids.
Black beans are high in protein, fibre and just 1/2 cup provides enough of your iron needs for the day.
