What makes this black bean burrito bowl nutritious?
Well, let’s break down the ingredient list to give you a better picture of just how nutritious this bowl is: Black beans – these are the main ingredient in this recipe and rightfully so as they are amongst the healthiest beans out there. The health benefits of black beans are numerous as they contain protein, fibre and antioxidants. Quinoa – a grain that has really earned its superfood status. It is called a complete protein as quinoa contains all the essential amino acids. Along with that, quinoa is high in fibre which is great for gut health and ensuring the meal keeps us full, and it also a source of iron which is essential for oxygen transportation in our body. Pineapple – apart from adding a sweet flavour contrast to our black bean burrito bowl, pineapples contain flavinoids which are powerful antioxidants which means pineapples help to support our immune system. Apart from all the great health benefits offered by the ingredients in our black bean burrito bowl it can be a great addition to a weight loss plan. Its high fibre make up keeps you fuller for longer which is beneficial for weight loss. If you are looking for more weight loss plans then our weekly plans are for you. 🙂
