Healthy Bean Salad for Weight Loss

Beans are good for weight loss because they are high in fiber and protein, which can help you feel fuller and lower your overall calorie intake. The fiber in beans slows down digestion, which helps regulate blood sugar levels and prevent overeating. 

Beans are also low in fat and calories, making them a healthy and filling food option for those looking to lose weight. An excellent vegan and gluten-free superfood, beans contain iron, vitamin B-6, vitamin K, folate, phosphorus, zinc, magnesium, and selenium.

This recipe is very similar to a Weight Watchers 3 bean salad recipe – but better because I use FOUR kinds of beans. More variety, more nutrition, more taste!
