Healthy fats to function properly.
“Fats” this term always immediately has a bad connotation. But be aware that our body simply needs fats, since these are 1 of the 3 macronutrients. In addition to carbohydrates and proteins, it must be included in your daily diet.
Fortunately, there is also such a thing as healthy fats 😃
To conjure up something different on our plate than the well-known salmon as healthy, fatty fish; For this dish I chose the delicious canned sardines from @fishtales_nl. A protein source with healthy fats, packed with vitamins and minerals. So feel free to say “superfood”.
This nutritious dish is on the table in no time. Easy isn’t it 😃
I got inspiration from the cookbook “Vis Uit Blik 2” by @bartsfishtales and then that little Fitters’ twist.
