Pumpkin
So maybe there’s something to pumpkin spice latte season! Turns out, pumpkin is a superfood full of vitamins and antioxidants. Not saying pumpkin spice lattes are the key to the perfect weight loss plans though. Anyway, the main nutrient is called beta-carotene and this pro-vitamin is responsible for immune boosting and eye health! Your body actually converts it to vitamin A so it can aid your health in these important ways.
Lentils
Lentils are super easy to make and very high in not just protein, but iron and many other nutrients. Their iron is very important in fighting against anemia, which vegetarians and vegans are especially prone to. In addition, lentils are low on the glycemic index so they cause your blood sugar to spike far less quickly than most starches. Thus, the energy you get from lentils will last longer.
