Tomatoes

Tomatoes contain an antioxidant called lycopene, which gives them their colour. This antioxidant may also be linked to reducing the risk of heart disease and cancer. 

Lentils

Lentils are packed full of fibre, aiding in digestion and keeping you fuller for longer. They also serve as a meat-free source of good protein.
