It’s best served as a side dish or with some protein (like tofu or chicken) to make it a complete meal.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

Asparagus is high in folate, which is important for cell growth and development. Broccoli is packed with vitamin C, which can boost your immune system and support healthy skin. Cauliflower is high in fiber, which can aid in digestion and help you feel full longer. All three vegetables are low in calories and carbs, making them a great choice for anyone watching their weight or managing their blood sugar levels.
