HEALTH & BENEFITS

Eggs are a good source of protein, which can aid in muscle repair and growth. Pepperoni is high in fat and sodium, which can be a concern if consumed in large quantities. Try using turkey sausage or turkey bacon as an alternative. Plum tomatoes are a low-calorie source of vitamin C, vitamin A, and lycopene, which support immune function and overall health. Green onions are also a great source of vitamins and minerals like vitamin C, B-6, and iron.
