what’s a serving of beans?
#dailydozenchallenge
I just love ’em ❤
Dinner:Lentils instead of rice, black-, red- or soybeans into the sauce with brusselsprouts, green beans and perhaps kale, cauliflower or broccoli.
Lunch salat: broccoli, spinach or baby leaves. Dried tomatos for umami. Tomatos, cucumber, perhaps saccuni. Tofu and perhaps cold beans or lintils and the criminal salat cheese for flavor (Hope they invent a vegione soon?
Two out of three dishes of wich I eat these days 💪
Thanks for alle your inspiration and for your handshake as I was sitting down, overwhelmed, in the Imperial theater, in Copenhagen 🙏❤️
Garbanzo??? Or black???
🔥🔥🔥IF THIS IS TRUE, ETHNIC MEXICANS SHOULD HAVE THE LONGEST LIFESPANS IN THE WORLD, RIGHT??
He did video on latin Americans being healthy bc they consume alot of beans
Yeah but nowadays the diet has shifted towards the SAD diet and results are clear by Mexico rivaling the US on obesity and chronic diseases. The more you know 🫡
Chocolate Pudding – 1 cup each Black beans, dates,soy milk and 1/4 cup cocoa power. vitamix for 2 minutes, then microwave for a minute
I’ve been making “breakfast hummus” (use peanut butter and maple syrup and cinnamon instead of tahini and lemon juice and garlic).
I think I’ll try your recipe but without the microwave, seems like a healthier version of what I make
Do you cook the beans first? Are you using canned beans? Thanks in advance for your help ❤
This was actually how I started going more plant based > adding about 1/3 a can of beans to one meal every day and eating a little less meat. A few years later, I’m vegetatian and they’re a staple food for me. I cook them myself in a pressure cooker now, but i reckon i’m at 1 can’s worth per day now.
I add beans to my smoothies!
Damn, just came from Japan. Didn’t vibe with Nato but now I guess I’ll eat some up 🤧
I’d rather have a shorter life than eat beans. Beans are absolutely disgusting. lol
I wasn’t that big a fan either, but i first found some good lentil soup recipes, and then I made some indian and mexican dishes, and now I’m hooked.;)
Red lentil tortillas are such as easy way to get lentils into your diet. Just mix red lentils and water. 2:1 ratio of water to lentils
Damn do I love beans, and they do love me back. Beans are one of my staple foods believe it or not, I often go through 4-5 cups of beans a day. Love all the varieties, so filling, so energizing and tasty!
What the top amount of beans we can have per day before we have “too much protein?”
I hear no more than a cup per day. If I mostly eat beans, I feel sluggish so I balance it out with sweet potatoes.
But I’m also hearing our protein shouldn’t make up more than 15% of our diet.
What’s the best level of protein so we don’t lose kidney function annually? Pritikin said 13-15% of calories from protein and no more.
What does the science say???
Thanks for your great message about beans. So good. I love what Jeff Novick has said… to keep an open can of beans in the fridge, and scoop a couple spoonfuls on top of any meal if you want to add a little nutritional boost to your meal. It’s a good way to get those extra servings dr. Is talking about. Thanks Dr. Greger, for your words of wisdom.
I had black-eye peas cooked in a slow cooker and a large sweet potato. It was very tasty.
Does tempeh and tofu count?
Beans are the one plant based thing i don’t eat apart from green beans occasionally. I’ll have to add some in slowly. It would be good for variation. I’ll have to get better at cooking rice too.
