Brown rice, black beans, avocado, and sweet potato. To start, I’m making a batch of beans in the Instant pot which is always my favorite way to enjoy them. Then I’m making some brown rice on the stove and cubing up some sweet potato If you aren’t familiar with the Blue Zones, they are the 5 regions in the world with the longest living population. They eat simple basic foods that encourage longevity and the combinations are delicious. And when I eat like this, I feel amazing!
