High protein foods- Navy Beans are Awesome!

Image result for navy bean image


If you're wondering why navy beans are so great, let me tell you!

In one cup they have about 15 grams of protein, and a whopping 19 grams of FIBER! You are suggested to have about 30-40 grams per day, so have a cup of navy beans and you're well on your way to your daily intake.

You can make them from a can or soak dry beans overnight.

Stick them in chili, put them in a wrap with some quinoa or brown rice, add some cheese and make a quesidilla; the list goes on.

Have you ever thought about learning more about nutrition? There are plenty of courses out there, and as I was searching I found this one which looks very thorough.
