Refreshing Bites I add green lentils to a lot of my meals. They are a wonderful vegan protein that has nine grams of protein per 1/2 cup. It’s also high in fiber, aids in digestion, and stabilizes blood sugar levels. It also is high in nutrients and vitamins like iron, magnesium, and b vitamins. Pressure cooking them is so simple and quick. Plus pressure cooking removes the lectins, which can cause digestive problems. They go great with my Super Boost Salad and I like to add them to my Vegan Tikka Masala recipe for some added protein.
