If you’ve been following me for the last few years, you know that lupini beans are a staple snack in my household. They are a true nutrition powerhouse! If you eat one 5.3 oz bag, you’ll get 15g of dietary fiber and 0g of net carbohydrates plus 21g of protein. In addition to being a great source of blood sugar balancing fiber and protein, they are also loaded with gut-healthy prebiotics.
A lot of you tried lupini beans for the first time during the Blood Sugar Reset in the Low Glycemic Lupini Bean Salad. One serving of this Lupini Bean Salad as an afternoon snack led to an 18 point gradual blood sugar increase on a Continuous Glucose Monitor, which is a great blood sugar response that will help to support afternoon energy levels and decrease cravings later at night.
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!
