Today’s menu may be low on carbs, but it’s packed with savory goodness. Did someone say cheese? You get not two, not three, but FIVE varieties today including the sultan of Swiss fromage — Gruyere. And don’t forget, cheese is not only delicious it’s an excellent source of bone-building calcium. Co-starring on the nutrition team today are the veggies of course, namely the spinach, which is loaded with vitamin K, magnesium and potassium. And speaking of magnesium, your almonds and dark chocolate happen to be great sources of this essential mineral, as well.
