I think it’s safe to say we are all ready for a change of scenery and routine right about now. If we aren’t able to do that with our surroundings and lifestyle, another method is to experiment with new foods and recipes.
This dish is for the days when you are in the mood for something light and refreshing but you don’t feel like a leafy green salad.
There are so many nutrient-dense ingredients packed into one dish!
–Black beans and chickpeas: These legumes contain an excellent source of fibre, plant-based protein, some B vitamins, folate and other minerals.
–Brown rice: Compared to it’s more common counter-parts (white and basmati rice), brown rice has a higher fibre content and also provides some protein and B vitamins.
–Bell peppers: Did you know that one red bell pepper provides roughly 200% of your recommended daily intake of vitamin C and vitamin A?!
-Garlic: Some studies have shown that garlic “may improve hypertension, lower cholesterol, protect against cancer, prevent bone loss, lower fasting blood sugar, and strengthen the immune system.”
