Please state the food under these basic guidelines:

  1. Name of food (eg: Eggs)

Here’s a fun one

  1. Celery
  2. Androstenone production, fiber, whiter teeth, fresh breath, and thermal effect of food
  3. Dont skip it when you’re eating appetizers! Try it with Peanut Butter in place of bread for a snack.

This encourages me to have celery

With it being tasty if PB is added :smiley:

  1. Cherry Juice
  2. High in fiber, protein, and simple sugars
  3. Great addition to a protein shake pre or post workout, adds flavor and carbs (on top of protein and fiber) so your body can use that protein to slather on some muscle

Cherry juice has protein?!

Yesssir, 2gs in 240mls, fiber also, not to mention all the antioxidants. Use it and thrive.

  1. Coconut Milk Ice Cream
  2. MCT’s, fiber, immunity support, satisfying your dessert craving
  3. I’m addicted to ice cream… I tried this recently in place of the traditional dairy treat and it tastes just as good if not better and has more nutritional value. It’s a bit pricey however.

Ahh, how much does it cost typically???

I think it was like 4.50 for a pint…

  1. Cocoa powder - Hot chocolate - Wikipedia

  3. Tastes like candy, great in oatmeal and protein shakes

I love Quark! Got a tub of the stuff in the fridge right now.
It’s oh so versatile. Great over scrambled eggs with cinnamon.
