YEAST (Nutritional)

WHY IT'S HEALTHY: Nutritional yeast is a rich source of vitamin B12, a nutrient that boosts your energy, protects your brain, and promotes healthy skin, hair, and nails. It's also a complete protein (a protein source like meat, eggs, and milk that contains all nine essential amino acids), so it's a great addition to vegetarian ad vegan diets.

HOW TO EAT IT: Stir 1-2 tablespoons into sauces, soups, or stir-fries to add rich flavor ad a protein boost without a lot of extra calories (2 tablespoos has about 60 calories).
