Yes, sardines.
Did you know all the health benefits of these little suckers? They are really quite amazing. They are nutritional powerhouses!

and Omega 3s up the wazoo:
- 670 mg EPA (omega 3)
- 722 mg DHA (omega 3)
They are really, really easy to eat too.
They may look a little creepy, crawly scary at first on your plate. But “hiding” and disguising the silvery slick skin results in some pretty awesome stuff!
Simply Sardines
Serves 1
1 5 oz. can Wild Planet Sardines in Extra Virgin Olive Oil
3/4 c. Paleo Zucchini Hummus (I always omit the garlic, as I’m pretty sensitive)
sea salt and pepper
1 large bell pepper (red, orange, yellow, or purple – or a combo of all colors)
Thoroughly smash the sardines into the hummus in a small bowl. Halve the bell pepper, stuffing one side full of the sardine goodness and slicing the other half into sticks for dipping.
Flex your muscles. You’re awesome!
