Green Bean & Quinoa Stir-Fry

Green beans are full of energy boosting B vitamins, including folate, which is particularly important for expectant mums for protection against neural tube defects like spina bifida. Beans are also a great source of iron which is crucial for energy production and for making red blood cells to transport oxygen around the body. Cabbage, like other brassica vegetables, contains high levels of sulphur compounds that enhance liver detoxification of carcinogenic substances. Carrots are jam-packed with beta-carotene goodness required for healthy eyesight and immune health. Beta-carotene is a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory vitamin.
