@thestomachdoc: Fibermax your ground beef with red lentils. 🥩🫘 Credit @haute_healthy_living This is one of my favorite ways to add more fiber to a meal without changing the flavor very much. Ingredients: • 1 pound ground beef • ½ cup dry red lentils • 1½ cups low-sodium beef broth Brown the ground beef as usual. Add the dry red lentils and broth, then let everything simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the lentils are tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed. The lentils blend right into the taco meat, making it hard to even notice they’re there. This is an easy fibermaxing trick that adds fiber, plant-based protein, resistant starch, vitamins, and minerals while helping stretch ground beef further when you’re cooking on a budget. Use it for tacos, taco bowls, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos, enchiladas, stuffed peppers, pasta, sloppy joes, chili, meal prep, or any recipe that uses ground beef. Adding red lentils to ground beef can support gut health, digestive health, bowel regularity, fullness, satiety, healthy blood sugar, heart health, and healthier weeknight meals without making dinner complicated.
