Our dedicated dietitian, Kathy, doesn’t just create healthy meals for our senior clients – she makes sure they are delicious, too. One example is this fantastic chickpea salad: using garbanzo beans, tomatoes, bell peppers, onion, and a special dressing. This colorful salad is packed with fiber, protein, vitamin C, potassium, and iron. Although garbanzo beans contain carbohydrates, it is absorbed in your body slowly without causing high spikes in blood sugar levels. Adding beans to your diet has shown to aid in maintaining healthy glucose levels, increases satiety which can help with weight management, is great for digestive health, can reduce cholesterol levels, and can lower your risk of heart disease and other chronic diseases.
