HALF OF A WHOLE-WHEAT ENGLISH MUFFIN WITH OF PEANUT BUTTER 1 TABLESPOON Your heart will thank you for the beneﬁts of whole grains, and peanut butter is a good source of protein. In addition, studies show that peanuts help lower your cholesterol, which, in turn, lowers risk for heart disease. 1 CUP OF BABY CARROTS AND 2 TABLESPOONS OF LOW-FAT RANCH DRESSING A cup of carrots will get you well over your daily recommended intake of vitamin A, which the retinas of your eyes need to function. In addition, studies have shown that a compound in carrots called falcarinol contains anticancer beneﬁts. 1 CUP OF GREEK YOGURT AND 10 RAW ALMONDS Greek yogurt often contains double the protein of regular yogurt in far fewer calories while also giving you half the sugar. Raw almonds are a great source of ﬁber and protein and, yes, they have fat, but it’s the healthy kind, so crunch away. Vim & Vigor · W I N TER 2 012 26
