Did you know that people in the blue zones eat four times as many beans, on average, than Americans do? The blue zones are the five areas in the world where people live the longest – Sardinia, Italy; Ikaria, Greece; Okinawa, Japan; Nicoya, Costa Rica and Loma Linda, California. While these areas vary geographically and culturally, the people who live there share similar lifestyle habits such as eating mostly a plant-based diet.
Inspired by the blue zones, Bush’s Beans and Blue Zones, LLC, created a new line of certified organic and vegan plant-based bowl toppers and soups that offer quick, healthy meals that harness the nutritional power of beans. Not only are beans delicious and provide long-lasting energy but they’re also some of the most sustainable crops making them a good choice for the planet, too.
Registered DietitianLiz Weiss highlights how these bowl toppers and soups are an easy option for wellness-minded individuals looking to add quick, healthier meals that bring the core diet principles of the Blue Zones into their daily lives. She also shares recipes and discusses where to find these new meal options.
