My cooking and eating preferences involve a LOT of green, and as weird as it may sound – broccoli is indeed one of my all-time favorite foods!

It has a powerful combo of Vitamin C and fiber that our bodies turns into a cancer fighting weapon called sulforaphane, and can be a great way to add a bit of plant-based protein to your diet without any starch or fat.
