All About Sardines 🐟

My mom loves sardines. I never was a fan. Until NOW! After a sponsored trip to Portugal, I’m obsessed with sardines. Part for brain health, part because I learned a new, simple way to servethem.

We can optimize our brain function by eating more healthy omega-3 fats. Omega-3’s may bust stress, boost memory and reaction time, and increase brain gray matter, the tissue associated with higher intelligence.

One simple way to get more omega-3 fats is by eating fatty fish like…

>> SARDINES <<

A whole can (3.75 oz) has under 200 calories and is packed with over 20 grams of protein. It’s also an excellent source of bone-building calcium, energizing B12, and immune-boosting vitamin D. And it’s not high in sodium, a can only has about 12% of the daily limit.

NOTE: According to seafoodnutrition.org other fish high in omega-3 fats include salmon, trout, anchovies, mackerel, and herring.

HOW TO: Serve Sardines

Just open the can, drain, squeeze in fresh lemon juice & add chopped fresh parsley. Flake/mix with fork. Serve right in the can with crackers, olives & simple arugula salad. Pair w/ a small glass of wine, for authentic Mediterranean vibes.🍷

PS: There’s NO heads or tails in the can & NO need to remove any bones. They come packed in water or oil like tuna, I like oil ones.
