Beans are one the best foods you can eat! They’re super easy to make. They’re very versatile. And they’re extremely economical (great for the grocery budget!). And because they’re gluten-free and vegan, they can meet a variety of dietary needs.

What’s more, with their amazing nutrient profile (high in fiber and other slimming nutrients), beans are a remarkable weight loss food.

Here’s how you can add more slimming beans to your diet.

Delicious Ways to Eat Beans

Beans can add slimming fiber and nutrition to soups.

I love including beans in veggie burgers and plant-powered patties.

And pureed white beans makes a lusciously creamy pasta sauce.

Even bean-haters seem to like beans when they’re blended into creamy dips and spreads …

Beans and other legumes can make nutritious and filling salads.

Burritos are a simple, quick, and easy lunch and are a great way to eat more beans.

Better Beans

Most legumes come both dried (economical option) and canned (convenient option).  My favorite way to cook dry beans is in the crock-pot (slow cooker) or in an Instant Pot.

They come out soooooo soft, soooooo tender, sooooooo good!  And how much easier can it get than to have your meal cooked for you while you are sleeping or at work?
