A prayer
But hidden inside every local market is enough nutrition to build a gladiator.
Here are the barrio superfoods most people ignore:
🌱 Lentils — cheap, powerful protein
🌱 Eggs — the perfect nutrient bomb
🌱 Chicken skin + bones — collagen + minerals
🌱 Spinach repollo or any leafy green — dirt cheap vitamins
🌱 Canned tuna or sardines — protein royalty
🌱 Papaya + limón — digestion magic
Cooking trick:
Combine 1 cheap protein + 1 cheap green + 1 carb = superhero meal.
Always.
Forever.
Without fail.
Cheap.
Effective.
Gratitude makes even simple meals feel nourishing instead of “not enough.”
Because gratitude focuses your brain on strength, not scarcity.
