Locally Inspired Vegetarian Eats

What does it mean to be "Plant-forward?" 🌿➡️🌿➡️🌿

"Plant-forward" is a term that sums up the dietary priorities of celebrating plants, and contributing to environmental sustainability.

It's important to note that this doesn't imply that eating non-plant-based foods is bad. "Plant-forward" thinking is about prioritizing environmentally friendly renewable resources, while not necessarily being exclusive.

It's okay to eat meat, you can still reduce your negative environmental impact by shifting your mindset to incorporate more plant-based foods into your life. 🌱

While we offer vegetarian meals, nothing is stopping you from adding your own source of protein to our dishes if you are so inclined! Feel free to top our salad with a chicken breast, or throw some fish into a curry. [Remember to always follow food safety + temperature guidelines!] It's about incorporating more natural sustainable foods into your diet, not uprooting it 😊

You do you, we just want to help where we can, and the environment will appreciate it!! ✅🌿

🫘 Black Beans: Nutritional Nuggets 🫘

Do you know about the VAST health benefits of black beans? From heart and bone health to preventing cancer, let's break it down! 🔧

Minerals such as iron, calcium, and phosphorus are vital in maintaining and building bone health and strength, and black beans contain all of these and more. 🦴
It's important to ensure you incorporate these impactful nutrients into your diet, and these beans have your back! 🫡

Not only will they help with your bone strength, but 1 cup (170g) of black beans contains over 15g of protein. 💪🏻 You LOVE to see this if you are avoiding meat in your diet! 🌿

There is also over 15g of fiber in 1 cup (170g) of black beans. (Did you know high-fiber diets aid in managing type 1 & 2 diabetes?) ALSO low in sodium, these beans will decrease your blood pressure, keeping your heart happy! 🙂

Speaking of a healthy heart, because of minerals like fiber, potassium, and folate, as well as the beans lacking cholesterol, black bean consumption will decrease your risk of heart disease! ♥️ They also contain natural anti-inflammatory compounds, so there is less pain when you game!

Finally, black beans contain Selenium, a mineral that works in the liver to detoxify some cancer-causing compounds found in your body 🧼👋🏻 AS WELL as slow tumor growth and prevent inflammation. 🔥 If that wasn’t enough, a compound called saponis in these beans prevents cancer cells from spreading or multiplying. 🤯

Amazing isn’t it? Black beans deserve a place in every healthy lifestyle. With a mountain of benefits to reap, never doubt the power of a black bean. 🫘♥️

Luckily for you, this week's Mexican style menu is full of black beans! So check out our plant-based dishes available online at live-kitchen.ca! 🛒
