If chips and salsa are in the room. Game over. It’s hard to know when to stop – or rather, hard simply to stop (we all technically know when it’s time) – when you’re dealing with a light salsa and empty carbs and addictive saltiness from the corn chips. This recipe uses white beans to give salsa a heartier edge, making each bite definitive and worth it, so you’ll know when to stop because you’ll actually be getting full from the protein!
White Beans: are one of the most concentrated food sources of the detoxifying enzymemolybdenum, are low on the glycemic index, keep cravings at bay, lower the risk of heart disease and adult-onset diabetes, slow the absorption of carbohydrates (and thus body fat), prevent premature aging with their high-antioxidant content, and are very high in magnesium and thus helpful for handling stress and preventing celiac disease and gastrointestinal problems.
