HEALTH & BENEFITS

Collard greens are an excellent source of vitamin A, C and K, calcium, iron and fiber. These nutrients work together to help maintain healthy eyes, skin, bones and digestive system. Tomatoes are rich in lycopene, an antioxidant that has been linked to reducing the risk of certain cancers and heart disease. Peanut butter is a good source of healthy fats and protein, which can help reduce appetite and keep you feeling full for longer periods of time.
