Nutrition:

• Sourdough bread: the fermentation process of sourdough makes it more digestible than many other bread types (great for the gut)!! It also delivers iron and folate from its fortified flour and packs in vitamin B12, which is usually only found in animal foods!

• Albacore tuna: albacore tuna is a great source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential and anti-inflammatory healthy fats! It's also full of nutrients such as complete protein, vitamin D, vitamin B12, selenium, and iron.

• Avocado: avocado is full of nutrients and has been associated with a lower risk of many chronic diseases! It's stocked with healthy fats (MUFAs!!), potassium, fiber, and carotenoids (antioxidants great for the immune system and the eyes!)
