Leafy greens like kale and spinach are vitamin and mineral powerhouses. Yet, on their own, they can’t easily provide one of the most important minerals of all: iron, which boosts your energy and metabolism but is hard to absorb from plant sources. Enter strawberries.

Flavour-wise, the sweetness of the berries is the perfect contrast to the slight bitterness of the veggie. Together on this multilayered toast topped with cheese (which provides protein), they deliver the swoon- worthy combo of crunchy, creamy, savoury and sweet.
