@desireenielsennutrition: Cheap + Cheerful Chickpea Tuna Sandwich This is Ep 2 of Eat Your Beans…because they really are the best so please eat them! 🫘 Honestly, I don’t love the word super food. But the reality is, I don’t think folks realize how ridiculously good for you beans are. Like, I would take a cup of beans over a scoop of greens powder, anyday. Why? Because they’re insanely nutrient dense, with balanced nutrition that’s a meal all on its own, AND they’re 100% a longevity food. We’re talking the kind of fiber that actually transforms your gut. Plus slow burn carbs and protein that keep your blood sugars on an even keel. And minerals like calcium, magnesium, zinc and iron that our immune systems, bones, and nervous systems crave. Plus, they’re easy to use and super affordable. Eating beans daily (or at least a few times a week) is one of the most powerful changes you can make to your diet. So I’m gonna talk about them ALL week long…or as long as it takes for you to fall in love with them. It’s been a while since I did a low spend wellness, consider this week my reintroduction!! If you need an easy way to get started, find my beloved chickpea tuna recipe in the comments. It takes just five minutes to make. #eatyourbeans #plantbasednutrition #lowspendwellness #chickpearecipes #easyveganrecipes
