Super Foods


Beans & Lentils

Beans and lentils are meat alternatives that provide a good amount of protein, without the saturated fat. They are also a great source of fibre, which promotes intestinal health and helps make you feel full faster! The iron in beans is better absorbed when combined with the Vitamin C from another superfood - citrus fruits!

Tip:
Since dried beans take a long time to cook, use canned beans in your recipes – they are nutritionally equivalent.
