Green Beans
At only 34 calories per cup, green beans are packed with 4 grams of fiber and are a great source of vitamin K and C. You can buy them frozen, but if you prefer fresh, look for beans with vibrant, velvety, smooth surfaces, thin and snap when you gently bend them. They will keep for up to a week unwashed in an unsealed bag. Peak season for purchasing is the Fall, so now is the perfect time to buy them. Here is a super easy recipe for those who do not like to cook.
Ingredients:
- 1/12 tbs EVOO
- 3/4lb of fresh green beans – trimmed
- ½ tsp onion salt
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- 1 pinch of ground pepper
Instructions:
- Heat EVOO in a skillet over medium heat
- Cook and stir green beans for a minute
- Add the rest of the ingredients and stir until desired tenderness is reached
- About 5-10 minutes
If you’re in a rush, add a rotisserie chicken and a whole wheat roll to your plate for a quick and healthy dinner.
