📌 Save for: Dietitian-Approved Lentil Recipes

❤️ February is Heart Health Month, so let’s spotlight one of my favourite heart-healthy ingredients: lentils!

Lentils are part of the legume family and are naturally rich in both protein and fibre — with about 9 g of protein and 8 g of fibre in just ½ cup of cooked lentils. This powerful combination helps you feel fuller for longer, supports steady blood sugar levels, lowers blood pressure and promotes a healthy gut.

✨ Lentils are especially high in soluble fibre, that helps lower LDL cholesterol and supports heart health. They also provide magnesium, a mineral that helps blood vessels relax and supports healthy blood flow.

With all these benefits, lentils deserve a regular spot on your plate! Try them in these delicious recipes:

✅ Mediterranean Lentils with Halloumi

✅ Shakshuka with Lentils & Kale

✅ Garlic Bruschetta with Lentils

✅ Quinoa, Lentil & Sausage Stuffed Peppers

💥 All these recipes can be found on DieteticDirections.com (link in bio). Just search for the recipe you’d like to try!
