Black Beans

There are far too many ways that one can eat black beans!  From a can, in a delish turkey chilli or, as I found out recently, they now have black bean pasta!

Why it’s a super food:

– It has 15 grams of protein in one cup with no saturated fats

– They boost brain power.  Thanks to anthocyanins, antioxidant compounds that have been shown to improve brain function, black beans can make your brain go! go! go!

– They are sodium free

– They are super cheap
