Nutritional values

The potassium content of asparagus is particularly important, as the electrolyte ensures a balanced fluid balance in the body and stimulates the activity of the kidneys, so that excess water is excreted. Cream cheese and potatoes form a good protein combination, as the cream cheese provides a lot of protein and the potatoes little but high-quality protein, thus supporting muscle building. Cream cheese is also a good calcium fertilizer, which has a positive effect on bone strength.

Try the green version of asparagus - it tastes more intense and saves time, because only the thicker ends need to be peeled. For a vegan alternative, the butter can be replaced by a purely vegetable margarine and the cream cheese by a vegan dip, for example our creamy hummus.
