Lentils are full of nutrients and one of my favorite plant based proteins. I’ve found them a bit easier to digest than other beans and they’re also a great source of vegan iron. There are so many different kinds of lentils nature has blessed us with. Black, green, red, yellow, and more. My preferred however is green lentils due to their texture and the way they cook and don’t mash out in the soup.
