Are Roasted Goat Cheese Stuffed Mini Bell Peppers Healthy? 

Let’s take a look at the main ingredients: 

• Mini bell peppers
• Goat cheese
• Asiago cheese
• Red onion

Mini bell peppers and red onion are natural, nutritious food sources. Use them to add color, nutrients, and flavor to a variety of recipes. 

But what about goat cheese and asiago cheese? Is dairy healthy?

Here’s what we know. Dairy is full of vitamins, minerals, protein, and natural fat energy. But if everyone consumed dairy all of the time, dairy farming would become abusive and unsustainable…

Let’s be mindful of our dairy intake. Buy dairy that comes from pasture-raised cows and try to eat less. 

Sugar is what makes food unhealthy.

It’s common to dig into roasted goat cheese dip with a full bag of tortilla chips. But tortilla chips are made from white flour (which is practically sugar).

In only one serving of chips (and who stops at one serving of tortilla chips), you’re already up to 14g of sugar. Next, you’re looking at heartburn with an energy crash. (And you’ll be scouring the pantry for your next sugar snack within the hour.)

Swap the flour tortilla chips with bell peppers, and this recipe becomes nourishment. The ingredients provide vitamins, minerals, protein, and quality, whole-food energy.
