I LOVE LENTILS
Recently, in exploring high energy foods with a client, and looking for something new she might experiment with, we landed on lentils. I love my lentils. They are inexpensive, easy to prepare, delicious and nutritious. I have been enjoying them in soups, stews and curries all winter and spring, but with the arrival of warmer weather, I am broadening my repertoire.
Lentils are…
- High in protein
- High in magnesium, potassium, folate, iron….
- A good source of dietary fibre
- Low in calories
Lentils can…
- Lower cholesterol
- Improve heart health
- Aid digestion
- Stabilize blood sugar
- Increase energy
- Help with weight loss
Did I mention that they are delicious? One thing I love to do in summer is dip: vegetables, good bread, crackers…. Here are a couple of wonderful recipes I have found. Enjoy!
