Fresh and Light Salad

A simple salad makes a perfect mini-meal. Green beans are low in calories (1 cup contains only 35) and navy beans are a good source of magnesium for muscle building and bone health. Vitamins C and A from fresh vegetables and a sprinkle of calcium-rich cheese add up to a tasty and nutritious snack that won’t leave you searching for the nearest vending machine.
