Garbanzo & Black Bean Soup

As I lead group resets, I thought I'd share this yummy
GARBANZO & BLACK BEAN SOUP that we enjoy while detoxing!

This soup tastes amazing! and it's so simple and quick to make.
Your kids will want seconds!

PLUS...so full of fiber to help keep you regular and your cholesterol levels happy!

Remember fiber binds to cholesterol and escorts it out of your body before it hits your bloodstream.

YOU NEED MORE FIBER!

Fiber helps keep your blood sugar happy too!

The other thing...if you add a cup of brown rice to this soup, it's a complete protein!

YES....BEANS + RICE = COMPLETE PROTEIN

Together beans and rice contain all nine essential amino acids to form a complete source of protein!

So if you feel lazy but hungry...and your kids need a protein boost, don't grab the take-out menu!

This is perfect & you can whip it up quickly.
(p.s. I squeezed some lime on top and added a bit of avocado!)
