These stuffed baby peppers are super cheesy and are perfectly complemented by an arugula and avocado dipping sauce. And the mono-unsaturated fat in the avocado in this dish helps to enhance the absorption of the carotenoids (woot, woot!)! So dive in to these peppers knowing you’re doin’ your body good! □ Peppers also score when it comes to antioxidant and anti-inflammatory phytonutrients, and contain more than thirty different members of the carotenoid nutrient family which help to boost immunity, as well as fight cancer and aging. And if you pair peppers with a source of iron, like in our Turkey Fiesta Tacos or eat them with spinach, fish, chicken or meat, their vitamin C helps you to absorb the iron. We always notice when our clients start eating more veggies like peppers because their skin start to look really healthy and bright and clear. Plus, peppers rock when it comes to vitamin C, so they help to boost immunity and keep skin supple since vitamin C plays a role in collagen formation. Plus, at only 29 calories each, they’re great as an appetizer, side dish, and they’re perfect for weight loss since they’re satisfying, cheesy and indulgent, but super low in calories! ![]() We also love to stuff peppers-have you tried our Skinny Cheesy Peppers? These Stuffed Baby Peppers are a delish spin on traditional stuffed peppers. And we both love to cook with them too, as well as whip up simple recipes like our Turkey Stir Fry Fiesta and our easy-to-make Bell Pepper and Egg Salad Stuffed Celery. AND I did this before we even started researching all of the benefits they have for your skin and for your health for our book The Nutrition Twins Veggie Cure. □ Yep, I snack on bell peppers, eat them with my lunch-and even cut them up and take them with me when I travel. ![]() Sure, there are worst things you can be obsessed with (ahem, Lyssie’s obsessed with cabbage- that’s even more embarrassing!), but you try explaining to the cute Trader Joe’s check-out boy why you’ve got 8, 3-packs of tri-colored peppers and you just went through his line with the same items less than a week ago.
