Since this week we’re focusing on protein, today’s recipe features baked cod fish. This flaky white meat fish is packed with protein and is a great source of vitamins B3, B6, and B12, as well as heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids. It’s also very low in mercury, so it’s safe for pregnant women and children.
If you’re vegan, don’t worry, we also got you covered! Two servings of the kale, beans, and cornbread crumbs pack a whopping 19.4 g of plant-based protein and only 455 calories!
