Meatballs and pasta are nutritious meals that garlic complements perfectly.

Avocados
Avocados have grown in popularity over the last year or so. They’re not so popular with health fanatics that you can find them on nearly every menu in every restaurant you’ll enter into. But you either love them or just really don’t like them. The only downside to avocados is that they don’t have much of a taste, but if you mix them with other foods they do taste amazing. For example, a smashed avocado bagel, with finely diced onion and tomato mixed in, add some basil for a little bit of extra flavoring, and then a poached egg and some salmon, and you’re in for a culinary treat. It isn’t that hard to make, and it is such a nutritious meal. One of the main benefits of this food is that it contains a ton of potassium, as well as other vitamins and minerals.
Chia Seeds
To finish things off, we’ll add a little fiber to your diet. Chia seeds are so nutritious in other ways, but their main benefit is that around an ounce of chia seeds contains around 11 grams of fiber. That is such a large, yet healthy amount to have. It also contains calcium as well as other various goodies you might like. You can even put them into pudding if you’d rather! Just check out these cool recipes for ideas.
