Happy New Year healthy meal

Got all the above ingredients bits and pieces. Why not combined them all together to make a beautiful meal that I can enjoy and watch Netflix. I am also using the plate my cousin gave me. I didn’t soak the skewer as I am not putting it on a BBQ.

Google: “A cherry is the fruit of many plants of the genus Prunus, and is a fleshy drupe (stone fruit). Cherries are healthy stone fruits loaded with nutrients and antioxidants that may boost your heart health, improve sleep quality, and relieve some symptoms of arthritis and gout.”

Google: “Blueberries are often called a “superfood.” This small but mighty berry is loaded with nutrients. They may help lower blood pressure, improve memory, aid in exercise recovery, and more. Blueberries have one of the highest antioxidant levels of all common fruits and vegetables. The main antioxidant compounds in blueberries belong to a family of polyphenol antioxidants called flavonoids. “Strawberries are bright red, juicy, and sweet. Strawberries are very healthy, containing many antioxidants and vitamins. They’re also low in calories, containing only about 32 calories per half a cup. Strawberries are very rich in antioxidants and plant compounds, which may have benefits for heart health and blood sugar control.”

Google: “Medley tomatoes are rich in antioxidants, which may help protect against cancer, heart disease, and skin damage. But you may want to avoid cherry tomatoes if you have acid reflux or certain allergies. Tomatoes of all types are incredibly nutrient-dense, boasting vitamins, minerals, amino acids, fatty acids, carotenoid antioxidants, phytosterols, and phenolic compounds. Tomatoes tend to be a great source of vitamins A, C, and E, as well as the B vitamin folate.”

Google: “Bocconcini is a type of unaged pasta filata cheese that originates from Italy. The name “Bocconcini” means “little bites” in Italian, which reflects its small, egg-sized shape. Bocconcini is rich in calcium, offering 536mg per serving, or 41% of the daily value. Calcium is crucial for maintaining healthy bones and teeth, as well as supporting muscle function and nerve transmission.”

I am glad to finished off all the ingredients. This meal is colourful, simple, creative, healthy, and delicious meal. Let’s create healthy meal!!!!
