Beans and lentils are arguably one of the most nutrient-dense foods with a whole host of nutrition-related benefits. Beans like pinto, black and black-eyed peas are a great plant-based source of protein and also contain high amounts of plant sterols, soluble fiber and micronutrients such as folate, iron, magnesium and many more.
This dish is super versatile and it makes a lot so you can have leftovers for the week! Throw it in as a side to any meal, as a dip with crackers or as a topping on eggs or a salad!
The best way to address inflammation and blood sugar imbalances is getting consistent with strategic meal plans that take you from eating “healthy” to eating optimal. Join The Being Collective, my membership community for weekly anti-inflammatory meal plans, weekly recorded calls with myself and my functional medicine nutritionists, monthly Q&As with me, and an empowering community of women. One healthy meal or one workout isn’t going to move the needle but a proven system and long-term consistency will!
