  • Whole wheat crackers with goat cheese and sweet sauce: Whole wheat crackers provide more nutrition while containing low saturated fat. Goat cheese is more healthier than normal cheese in the term of calories, fat and cholesterol. Sweet source adds extra falover.
  • Dark chocolate with wine: Dark chocolate can lower blood pressure because of cocoa phenols. It is also a potent antioxidant. Red wine, especially Syrah and Pinot Noir, contains powerful antioxidant polyphenols, which contribute to anti-cancer, anti-aging benefits including helping to fight heart disease, vision disorders, allergies, viral infections, and more.
  • Dried fruits mixed with nuts: Dried fruit is full of fibre and vitamins. Nuts are cholesterol-free and they provide good sources of protein, phosphorus, zinc, magnesium, vitamin E and selenium. However, don’t over dose since both food are calorie-intense.

Return home and mix a bowl of salad within a minute. Don’t forget to add vinegar and salt for better taste.

    This is just the basic setup. Add some exotic greens, such as flat-leaf parsley, or radicchio. Add carrot, radishes, caramelized onions or celery roots. Consider sliced apples, sliced pears, or dried cranberries as fruit. Replace pine nuts with pumpkin seeds, or shaved almonds. Walnut is also a good choice. Meat people could add chicken, fish, or cocktail shrimp to complement the dish.
