Roasted Sweet Potato “Fries” + Avocado 

Sweet potatoes are rich in carotenoids—which help maintain healthy skin, bones, and immune function—but you need to eat them with fat (like from an avocado) to absorb the nutrients.

Heirloom Tomato + Olive Tapenade 

Combining tomatoes and olive oil increases the antioxidant activity of tomatoes. Made from finely chopped, oil-rich olives, tapenade adds a salty, briney flavor.

Mango + Jalapeños 

This sweet-and-spicy combo is loaded with vitamin C, which may improve oxygen delivery during exercise.

Collard Greens + Mushrooms 

Swap out lettuce for sauteed calcium-rich collard greens and sauteed mushrooms—look for mushroom brands cultivated with vitamin D, which boosts absorption of calcium.

Boost the absorption of iron, found in beans, with the vitamin C found in bell pepper.
