The most flavorful Zucchinis are small to medium size. And darker the color, more nutrition dense it is. 100 gram of zucchini has just 3 gram carbs, 1.2 grams protein, 0.3 gram fat & only 17 calories. It is packed with Vitamin C, Vitamin B6 and Potassium. We love using zucchini in our weekly menu.

Parmesan Cheese is really good for you too. Parmesan is an Italian hard aged cheese, and it undergoes a lengthy aging process that averages two years. It is a rich source of protein. Actually, it is the most protein-dense among all cheese and also beats any meat on a gram-for-gram basis. Since it is low in lactose, you digest parmesan easily as compared to other cheese. It is also a rich source of Minerals like calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and more.
