Healthy, because

Even smarter

Parmesan cheese provides a good portion of protein as well as plenty of calcium, which is good for strong bones and healthy teeth. Mint is a true miracle cure: it has a generally stimulating effect thanks to the essential oil menthol it contains, thus helping with breathing problems and colds, is good for digestion and soothes the stomach.

Instead of the Parmesan chips you can also use roasted pumpkin seeds or homemade croutons as a crispy topping.
