Happy Wellness Wednesday!
Meet the adzuki bean, small, red and mighty! Packed with protein, fiber and minerals, these little gems are a plant-based powerhouse.
To prepare:
Use 1 cup dried adzuki beans. Soak them for 6–8 hours. Rinse the beans, then cook in your Instant Pot with 3 cups of water (about a 3 to 1 ratio of water to dry beans), at high pressure for 10 minutes, followed by a natural release for 12 minutes.
Try them with rice, a classic in Asian cooking or season with garlic or cumin and ginger for a simple, nourishing bowl. Add roasted veggies or a light tomato-based sauce for extra flavor and variety.
Whole-food carbs done right, delicious, balanced and body-fueling.
I started out over 10 years ago watching Forks Over Knives, decided to “try out” the plant-based meal plan and had shockingly incredible results. I’ve never turned back. I have lost nearly 50 pounds, and that is just one side effect that me, my family, friends and clients have experienced after making the change.
Having been an incredible cook my entire adult life, I started my own personal chef service, NuYu Nourish, to extend my help to others. I interned under a celebrity chef, became a celebrity chef myself and have been expanding my reach and goals ever since! My plan follows strictly and simply those of Dr. Mcdougall, Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Esselstyn.
