Nourishment Notes
Quinoa is a type of seed, but often used as a grain in dishes. It’s gluten-free and provides vitamins, minerals, protein, and fiber, important to overall health.
Avocados are a great source of healthy, monounsaturated fats that may help protect the heart. The high fat content makes avocados a healthier, high-calorie food option.
Cashews are a type of nut that may provide important heart-healthy benefits. Nearly all nuts are nutrient and energy dense, making them a good high-calorie food option.
Blueberries contain many different compounds, such as flavonoids and resveratrol, that may help to decrease growth and stimulate self-destruction of various types of cancer cells.
Full-fat dairy products, such as cheese, cream, and whole milk, are high in calories. A high-calorie diet may be necessary if unwanted weight loss is occurring. Full-fat dairy also provides important nutrients such as calcium, potassium, and vitamin D.
