Dried northern beans are a super cost effective way to amp up your fiber and your health making them a mainstay in my cupboard. Try them as a side dish in my Northern Beans Instant Pot Recipe. Or, to incorporate beans into your meals, try White Bean and Orzo Soup with Arugula in the Instant Pot.

Northern Beans are an Excellent Source of Plant Based Protein

Northern beans are super beneficial for your microbiome. They contribute to increases in fiber and have been proven to decrease fat and lower people’s blood pressure and cholesterol (Bulsiewicz, 2020). Additionally, fiber packed beans help balance your blood sugar in turn lowering your chance of diabetes or risk of heart attack (Bulsiewicz, 2020). 

As one of those foods that are highly underrated by the traditional American diet, I had no idea how many amazing meals you could make with beans! In fact, I used to kind of avoid them because of, well, IFKYK. But, I promise you that once you incorporate beans into your week you will feel better and the changes inside your body will bring long-term health benefits. Want more info?
