Bean based dishes are great sources of protein, fibre, and healthy fats. In other words they are the ideal 3X food and we often overlook it.

Lentils are the most versatile, making it easy to add flavour to the dishes. I've linked one of my favourite dishes which includes a whack of spinach to make it iron rich too!

White kidney beans are packed with magnesium. Chickpeas can be turned into a lovely snack and flavoured to replace chips if chips are your guilty pleasure.

Best of all beans are very budget friendly and with the cost of food going up, now is a great time to embrace beans as a protein option.

This week cook 2 dishes using beans as the protein. Give yourself a bonus point on your tracker for every bean dish you make.
