Why this supports your day
Salmon is a natural source of Omega-3 fatty acids and complete protein, both of which may support brain function and sustained energy as part of a balanced diet. Asparagus provides folate, a B vitamin involved in neurotransmitter synthesis, and quinoa adds additional plant-based protein and slow-release carbohydrates.
