Modern life often rushes us through meals. We eat at our desks, in our cars, or while scrolling social media, barely registering the flavors or textures of what we consume. Shifting this dynamic requires a conscious pause. The art of mindful eating and choosing whole foods is a compassionate approach to nourishment that connects us with our bodies and the environment.
Beans and greens are an endlessly customizable duo that isn't just satisfying, but very nutritious. There are nearly as many types of greens as there are types of beans, so combinations are endless. Plus, beans are available year round, whether dried or canned, and are very affordable and shelf-stable staples packed with protein, carbs, vitamins, and minerals. Greens are seasonal produce, but many types are likewise available year round. They provide a wealth of micro-nutrients and can be enjoyed raw or cooked.
