From the expert“Beans and lentils are extremely versatile. Start including them in your diet by substituting them for animal protein at least once a week. Try adding them to omelets, soups, salads, pasta or even by making black bean brownies.” — Alex Zawilski, registered dietitian with Sharp Chula Vista Medical Center
