Food of the Week! Lentils

👩‍🍳Food of the week …. LENTILS!

✅ Fun fact: Lentils have more protein than all other plant-based sources except soybeans.

They’re also loaded with a variety of vitamins, minerals, fiber, and anti-inflammatory polyphenols.

Plus … they are linked with lower cholesterol, blood sugar, and blood pressure.

💪🏻 Another Bonus: unlike many other legumes, they don’t require you to soak them overnight before cooking, and they also have a short cooking time – about 20 minutes.

🥗You can toss cooked lentils into salads, wraps, scrambled eggs, soup, and more – they’re filling and comforting at the same time.

When was the last time you ate some lentils? 👇
