Chicken
Baked, grilled or stir-fried, chicken can be the perfect companion for almost every dish on the planet….except maybe cereal…or chocolate cake…we wouldn’t recommend that. But, chicken is lean, mean, has less saturated fat and cholesterol than red meat, so is more heart-healthy and one of the most popular protein choices for health fanatics.
Chickpeas
Although these little peas are usually mashed, blended, seasoned and disguised in a mean humous dip, there’s more to these fiesty legumes than meets the eye. Chickpeas are packed with heart-healthy nutrition and rich in fiber, potassium, vitamin C, and vitamin B-6. This can help lower cholesterol in the blood and help decrease the risk of heart disease.
