Healthy Snack or Meal

Hello my Beautiful Peepz! 


      Just sharing my favorite heathly Snack to eat, you can also eat it as a meal. Loaded with vitamins and health benefits, you can't really go wrong ^^. I'm not a specialist or nutritionist, just a girl who loves to eat her vegetables. 

       Spring is just around the corner why not start by eating something healthy? There are so many choices out there and sometimes it's hard to choose what to eat. But always doing research before heading to the grocery store is always a bonus. That way you can absorb a lot of information and shopping should be a breeze. Making a list is always helpful, or simply download a app on your phone.

     Now back to my main point. What's my favorite mean/snack Cold Rolls of course. It's basically a Rice Paper wrap with rice vermicelli, basil, shrimp (meat of your choice), Arugula ( Its my favorite green leaf but you can choose others).

     Benefits of eating basil: Consuming fresh basil leaves can help boost immune system functions, also can improve production of infection-fighting antibodies by 20%. People also say it can help destroy viral cells that cause cold/flu. Now I may not be right but it can never hurt to try right?

   Other benefits of basil: Now if you don't like that licorice taste in basil. You can also use that as a acne remedy. How? Simply take a fresh basil leaf and get the oils and apply to affected areas to help destroy bacteria on the skin (pimple/scar). Can also help clogged pores.

   Benefits of eating Arugula: Its low in calories, rich source of many vitamins and minerals. Contains 8x more calcium then iceberg lettuce. 5x the vitamin A, Vitamin C and Vitamin K. Now the choice is easy right? But many people don't like that bitter taste that arugula has. But that what make's it soooo good. Arugula also has antioxidants powers and prevention of diseases like cancer.

 Benefits of eating Shrimp: Yummy Shrimp def my favorite. Shrimp is loaded with Vitamin D, B3, Zinc and protein. Can also help with premature aging, has omega-3 fatty acids, provides antioxidant protection. I also read that it can prevent hair loss, contribute to hair thickness, shiny hair and helps the skin cells. But eating to much of something is not good, so don't over do it!!
