Healthy food tastes good! This recipe proves it. Green beans are often overlooked but this delicious and simple way to prepare them will have you adding them to your at-home menus often. Green beans are GREEN, and like spinach and kale, they are filled with important carotenoids like lutein (good for the eyes), betacarotene (a known anti-oxidant and immune booster), and neoxanthin (known to combat prostate cancer). And, they are a good source of detoxifying, artery scrubbing fiber. Diced onions add flavor to this easy-to-make side dish as well as help keep blood sugar levels regulated and raw almonds are an excellent source of energy, protein and they are rich in the good fats that help prevent heart disease.
