  • Crunchy sprouts — enzymes and texture with minimal carbs.
  • Tender roasted chicken — lean protein to keep you full.
  • Creamy avocado — heart-healthy monounsaturated fats and potassium.
  • Tangy sauerkraut — probiotic-rich for gut health.
  • Fresh cilantro — bright finishing herb.
  • Homemade purple sweet potato hummus — a small, controlled portion for color and flavor.
  • Sweet & spicy tahini glaze — a low‑carb dressing to tie everything together.
