9 LENTIL & BEAN Recipes to Keep You Fueled!


Hi Reader!

Lentils and beans regularly make their way into our meals around here. They pair well with almost any herbs and spices, and boost our fiber intake effortlessly.

I've gathered together some of my favorite lentil and bean recipes below, including soups, salads and snacks. Let's dive right in...

  1. Vegan Lentil Chili - This chili is rich, comforting and beyond delicious! You'll never miss the meat.
  2. Black Bean & Corn Salad - 10-minute recipe! Serve it at every summertime barbecue and picnic. Also great as a chip dip.
  3. Slow Cooker Bean Soup - One reader said, "Two words: Make this! This is just so damn good! I couldn't believe how full I was after just one helping." ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
  4. Red Lentil Dal - I make a batch of this delicious curry at least once a month. It's a piece of cake to make in the Instant Pot.
  5. Sweet Potato Soup - This silky soup is blended with chickpeas for a hearty, fiber-filled texture.
  6. Three Bean Salad - A classic side dish for your summertime get-togethers. It packs well for picnics, too.
  7. Creamy White Bean Dip - Keep this easy dip on hand to curb those afternoon munchies.
