Today’s *Favorite Find* is Trader Joe’s pre-packaged Steamed Lentils.
They’re super easy to prepare and an excellent source of fiber and protein.
I toss them with my salad at lunch for a healthy form of protein that will keep me full through the afternoon. You can also use them as a substitute for rice – toss them with some grilled chicken and roasted veggies and you’ll have a hearty, comforting meal. Convenient health food can be hard to find. Trader Joe’s nailed it with this one.
You can find them in the refrigerated produce section.
