Have you heard about water lentils yet? If not, you are in for a treat (promise… no pun intended!).
Water lentils are a relatively new plant-based food to hit the Western health food world. Not only are these aquatic plants incredibly nutrient-rich on a variety of fronts, allergen-friendly, and digestive-system compatible, but they claim to be one of the only plant-based, all-natural, bioavailable sources of vitamin B12. If you still want to know more, check out this post.
Water lentils come in a dried powder form that can be easily mixed into smoothies, baked goods or simply just added to water.
This recipe is amazing for more than just the chocolate! It’s raw and unprocessed, high in plant base protein, high in fiber, contains no refined sugar and… high in B12! YAY!
