Pecans – offer heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, antioxidants for cell protection, and essential nutrients like vitamin E. They may aid in weight management, support bone health, help control blood sugar, and have anti-inflammatory effects.

Bananas – rich in potassium, essential for heart health and blood pressure regulation. They provide quick energy from natural sugars, contain dietary fiber for digestion, and offer essential vitamins like vitamin C and vitamin B6.

Soy milk – a plant-based alternative to dairy milk, provides a good source of protein, essential amino acids, and various vitamins and minerals. Soy milk has cardiovascular and bone health benefits. The beverage is also low in saturated fat and may help lower cholesterol levels, promoting heart health.

Cocoa powder – is rich in antioxidants which may contribute to heart health by reducing blood pressure and improving vascular function.
